Figure 4-10. Pretriggered Data Acquisition Example

If an ai/ReferenceTrigger pulse occurs before the specified number of
pretrigger samples are acquired, the trigger pulse is ignored. Otherwise,
when the ai/ReferenceTrigger pulse occurs, the sample counter value
decrements until the specified number of posttrigger samples have been
acquired.

NI 6232/6233 devices feature the following analog input timing signals.

AI Sample Clock Signal

AI Sample Clock Timebase Signal

AI Convert Clock Signal

AI Convert Clock Timebase Signal

AI Hold Complete Event Signal

AI Start Trigger Signal

AI Reference Trigger Signal

AI Pause Trigger Signal

AI Sample Clock Signal

Use the AI Sample Clock (ai/SampleClock) signal to initiate a set of
measurements. Your M Series device samples the AI signals of every
channel in the task once for every ai/SampleClock. A measurement
acquisition consists of one or more samples.

You can specify an internal or external source for ai/SampleClock. You also
can specify whether the measurement sample begins on the rising edge or
falling edge of ai/SampleClock.
