How to use and configure DAQmx software triggering in Labview 7.0

[blau]

Dear NI support staff,

I want use to software triggers to start and stop acquiring an indefinite amount of analog samples (as opposed to a fixed number of N samples in most of your code examples). I don't know the correct way to configure the DAQmx property nodes and the DAQmx send software trigger VIs. In the property node VI it doesn't seem to have an entry for software trigger. So I think I am not on the right track. Would you please help me out? It would be great if you can show me an example. Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Bennett

Hello Bennett,
The example below demonstrates how to perform an analog software triggered acquisition in NI-DAQmx. The example allows the user to specify the triggering condition and the number of pre-trigger samples to acquire.

Good luck and have a great day!
