AI Hold Complete Event Signal
The AI Hold Complete Event (ai/HoldCompleteEvent) signal generates a
pulse after each A/D conversion begins. You can route
ai/HoldCompleteEvent out to any output PFI <6..9> or RTSI <0..7>
terminal.
The polarity of ai/HoldCompleteEvent is software-selectable, but is
typically configured so that a low-to-high leading edge can clock external
AI multiplexers indicating when the input signal has been sampled and can
be removed.
AI Start Trigger Signal
Use the AI Start Trigger (ai/StartTrigger) signal to begin a measurement
acquisition. A measurement acquisition consists of one or more samples. If
you do not use triggers, begin a measurement with a software command.
When the acquisition begins, configure the acquisition to stop under the
following conditions:
• When a certain number of points are sampled (in finite mode)
• After a hardware reference trigger (in finite mode)
• With a software command (in continuous mode)
An acquisition that uses a start trigger (but not a reference trigger) is
sometimes referred to as a posttriggered acquisition.
Using a Digital Source
To use ai/StartTrigger with a digital source, specify a source and an edge.
The source can be any of the following signals:
• Input PFI <0..5>
• RTSI <0..7>
• Counter n Internal Output
• PXI_STAR
The source also can be one of several other internal signals on your DAQ
device. Refer to Device Routing in MAX in the NI-DAQmx Help or the
LabVIEW 8.x Help for more information.
