Overview
The example is to demonstrate how to programmatically give a trigger with the software thresholding

Description:
The program would acquire a signal continuously via the analog input and when a certain value of the signal surpass the value,
a trigger would then produced via the analog output of the system

Steps to implement:

1. Define the Output Physical Channel and Input Physical Channel
2. Set the value of the Trigger Voltage
4. Run the VI
5. (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 AO and AI 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
