PCI 6025 analog trigger capabale?

[LV NI newsgroups]

Hello

Is the PCI 6025 capable of being triggered by an analog signal? I get this
error while running the demo program

error -10403 deviceSupportError The specified device does not support the
requested action (the driver recognizes the device, but the action is
inappropriate for the device).

Thanks

That device you have doesn't support such operation.
What you can do to workaround that fact is to configure the DAQ task to do Conditional Retrieval. That is sort of an analog trigger, the difference is that the NI-DAQ driver compares the input values to the specified trigger level, as opose to the hardware, as it is on boards that supports analog trigger.

That would make the acquisition a little slower, since every point needs to be checked by the driver. If you need faster acquisition than that, you will need to purchase a board with analog trigger capabilities.

Hope this helps.

Thanks I found the example for CVI and is sure works. One moe thing, If the
function times out the system becoms sluggish. Is there a way to increase
this timeout value?

Thanks
