irregular pulse train

In my DAQmx, I am using continuous acquisition while generating in DAC and ADC.

As a trigger signal, a counter signal sychronized with DAQ was used to control wave generator.

  

Can I make the irregular counter signal like attachment or use some concept like retriggering in generator?

I am asking about concept.

I can think of a couple of ways that you may be able to perform this type of operation.  First, you could use a digital pattern generation, and regenerate that pattern.  You would have to have a faster sample clock, so that each pulse would be more than one sample on the digital line.  (For example, perhaps your complete pattern could be 20 samples: 7 high, 3 low, 2 high, 8 low, and then that would repeat.) 

The other way to perform this would be using the buffered counter output functionality on X-series devices.  This allows you to pass a buffer of counter samples, with each sample consisting of a frequency and duty cycle.  If you use implicit timing, then it will output one cycle of each before moving to the next sample in the list.
