Figure 4-7. 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.

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.
