can a 6211 read rising and falling edges of an analog input

[Pinton]

When I go into the windowed measurement of an analog input the rising and falling edge triggers are grayed out. Is this unit capable of detecting rising and falling edges of a analog input channel.

I am trying to control a relay with this I was planning on triggering a digital output but if I have to I think I can use a analog output If that makes a difference.

All help is appreciated

Hi Pinton,

It does not look like that card has analog triggering capabilities.  You can always do the triggering in software if you don't mind a short delay.  If you want to see a list of our products that have analog triggering in hardware, here is what I would do.  Go to http://www.ni.com/dataacquisition/ and you should see options to narrow down your search.  One of the options is triggering.  If you click on Analog, you will have a list of all devices that support analog triggering.   Then you can narrow down by bus and whatever else you need.  Here is a direct link to to all of the USB analog triggering devices:
