time delay between trigger and data acquisition

[SohamSaha]

Hi, I am using NI PXiE-6368 as a tool for data acquisition. In my experiment, I use an external digital trigger to start taking measurements from a thermistor.

However, before the experiment, I want to find out the time that elapses between the detection of the trigger signal, and the start time of the Data acquisition.

Is there a way to do this?

So there is a trigger that enables DAQ and you want to know what the delay is between your trigger and the first sample?  Do I understand your question correctly?

Yep, that is exactly the question. I want to write a code to find out the delay, if that is possible.

Thanks.

Here's the kind of thing I'd configure to get a precise measurement of the time from a t=0 trigger signal until

the actual first A/D conversion.   It may be overkill for a temperature measurement, but should get you on

the right track.
