trigering using SCXI-1180

[eyad.alim]

Hellow every body,

        I have PCI-6221 & SCXI-1000 & SCXI-1100 & SCXI-1180 & SCXI-1300 & SCXI-1302.

        I would like to use the triger for my application, from the excel sheet attached I found that pin 38 on SCXI-1302 will be the

        DAC PCI-6221/PFI0 trigger which i can select from the labview is that right?

thanks for your pemanent support.

Hi eyad,

You will be able to use the SCXI-1180 to connect up to your PCI-6221 and have access to the PFI and APFI lines. The document you posted describes the connections for an E Series DAQ card and your M Series DAQ card will be slightly different. You can refer to the article describing the M Series pins for the SCXI-1349 for the pinout. You should also note that the M Series PFI lines can only be used for digital triggers, unlike the E Series PFI lines. The M Series cards have an APFI line that can be used for analog triggering. I wanted to be sure that distinction was clear and the resolution for each can be found in the article about the analog input trigger resolution. With this information you should be able to connect the appropriate triggering for your application.

Dear Steve_B,

     I would like to thank you so much for your interest and fast response.

Also I would like to be sure about some thing:

I have downloaded the M-series pin configuration with Breakout 1349, for example

signal        DAC pin no.          1349 pin no.
PFI0           11                           38

this means that by including digital input/trigger PFI0 in the application its interface will be through pin 38 on the feed through panel 1180, is this right?

Thanks so much for your efforts,
 

eyad.

Hi eyad,

You are correct. This document shows you how the pinout changes as the connector changes from 68 to 50 pins.
