There are many ways to do that, and I don’t know what kind of hardware you use for your tests. But regardless of the hardware, you can do that by software. If you really want to use the event structure, have a separate thread that polls for the start signal. In your event structure, create a user event and register for that event (see the LabVIEW example Programmatically Fire Events.vi and also Dynamically Register for Events.vi). Your separate thread that polls for the start signal should generate the appropriate event to start your test sequence.
Note that you don't want to use registered events, you can also simply poll for your start signal in the timeout case of you event structure. In that case, simply wire a timeout constant to the timeout connector of your event structure and manage states in your application.
Hope that helps.
