Can the PXIe-1073 drive/monitor the PXI trigger lines?

Hello basepolodad,

I would like to show you the following link that show all the specifications of the PXIe-1073. In this document you will be able to see a lot of information on the PXI trigger bus that the chassis has and how we can access it.

• NI PXIe-1073 User Manual

Please let me know if this document addresses your properly question.

Thanks for the reply.

The manual is not clear to me whether the chassis can drive or monitor the PXI trigger bus lines.  If it can is there an example showing how?

Hello Robert,

I have not seen any software that can monitor and display the information of the PXI Trigger Bus that is in the backplane of the PXI. A workaround is using an external card that can be used to export this lines to the front panel of the PXI. Some of the cards that can help with this are the 6652 or the 6653 timing and synchronization cards.

On the following link you should be able to see an example on how to export a Trigger to a PFI line:

Also, I would like to show you some articles that speaks how to manipulate the trigger lines:
