Generate DAQ Event on Digital Input with PCI 6711

How to generate a DAQ Event on a Digital Input using a PCI 6711 using Visual Basic and DAQEvent OCX ?
I need to receive a DAQEvent_Fire when Digital IO 3 becomes high.
Thanks

Hello CPericas. Thank you for contacting National Instruments. There is a manual called NI-DAQ User Manual for PC Compatibles that provides some description for DAQEvent.OCX. Take a look at the "Software Overview" section. Hope this helps. Have a great day!

I have tried many different configurations for generating the Event_Fire, but
none of them have worked out. What I need is to generate a Event_Fire when
digital IO 3 becomes high. So, what should I use for:

ChanStr - I have used "DI3"
Daq Event = I have tried the following 3
0—Acquired or generated n scans
7—Digital pattern not matched
8—Digital pattern matched

From the manuals I understood 7 and 8 cannot be used with PCI 6711 - is this correct ?

DAQTrigVal0 tried many combinations
DAQTrigVal1 tried many combinations

So where have I gone wrong - why doesnt this Event work ?

Thanks,
Carlos Perias
