Overview
The example will shows how to utilize the nibble DI/O configuration on the 9401 to trigger an analog task.

Description:
The VI would walks you  through the instance of utilizing the nible DIO of the 9401. Using the DAQmx functions and trigger, it would then wait a user selected delay and eventually would start the AI acquisition and finish by resetting the DO line to False after the trigger occurs

Steps to implement or execute code
To implement this example:
  1. Configure the channels
  2. (Optional) Specify the rest of the parameters as needed
  3. Run the VI
  4. (Optional) Turn on the Highlight Execution to see the flow of the VI

 

To execute this example:

  1. Install the required software.
  2. Connect the DAQ hardware that supports the Digital IO and Analog Input features
  3. Confirm the connection with the MAX with TestPanel
  4. Open the VI and refer the Implement Steps


Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
NI-DAQmx 9.0 or compatible

Hardware
cDAQ with C series Analog Input and Digital IO Module
