Continuous Analog Acquisition That Logs Data After Receiving Digital Pulse

[enderWiggin10]

Overview

This VI sends a digital trigger to a counter line that will trigger your VI to begin logging data from your continuous analog acquisition task. 

Description

1. Create one analog input task and one counter input task.
2. Configures the sample clock for the analog input task.
3. Begin the acquisition of the counter then the analog input.
4. Continually reads the data until the counter sees a rising edge then the analog input data is logged to file.
5. Clears the task, merges errors, and reports any errors that occurred.

Requirements

Software

• LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
• NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 or compatible

Hardware

• NI Multifunction DAQ Device with at least one counter
