How do I use AI/StartTrigger on my USB-6229

I am trying to set up my USB-6229 to trigger off the AI/StartTrigger line, but I cannot figure out how to find or configure the StartTrigger line.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hello FB,

 

There are a variety of triggers and lines we can use to set each trigger.  Are you still trying to set up an analog trigger?  If that's the case, you need to place a DAQmx Trigger VI, set it to Start Trigger»Analog Edge and then you can specify which Analog line you would like to trigger off of.  The 6229 is an M-Series card, so you can also use the APFI line if you want to trigger on a line that you're not actively reading a voltage on. Did you find the example I pointed you to in your other post?  It already has everything set up in it you might need.
