AIGATE on RTSI on 6115

[jamie boyd]

This code (I use Igor Pro NIDAQ tools) for selecting signal to gate data acquistion that works on a 6110 doesn't work on a 6115 - the acquisition is not gated.

Select_Signal(ImageBoardSlot, ND_RTSI_6, ND_GPCTR0_OUTPUT, ND_LOW_TO_HIGH)

Select_Signal(ImageBoardSlot, ND_IN_EXTERNAL_GATE, ND_RTSI_6, ND_PAUSE_ON_HIGH)

I send output of a clock to an RTSI line, then use that to gate data acquisition. Is there something about the 6115 that needs to be set up differently?

I believe the problem is that you are porting your code from a PCI device to a PXI device. On PXI ESeries and SSeries devices, RTSI 6 is actually the PXI Star Trigger line and doesn't function as a normal RTSI line. Your program should work if you use RTSI 0-5 instead.

If you are using a PXI-6115, then reddog is correct. RTSI 6 does not behave as a normal RTSI trigger line. Below is a link to documentation that illustrates this idea. If you are using the PCI-6115, do the other RTSI lines work correctly?

Thanks reddog and Jeremy. I changed the code to use other RTSI lines and it works fine now.
