The digital pattern instrument waits for this trigger after you call the niDigital_init function or the niDigital_BurstPattern function, and does not burst a pattern until this trigger is received.
Defined Values:
NIDIGITAL_VAL_NONE (1700)
Disables the Start trigger. Pattern bursting starts immediately after you call the niDigital_init function or the niDigital_BurstPattern function.
NIDIGITAL_VAL_DIGITAL_EDGE (1701)
Pattern bursting does not start until the digital pattern instrument detects a digital edge.
NIDIGITAL_VAL_SOFTWARE (1702)
Pattern bursting does not start until the digital pattern instrument receives a software Start trigger. Create a software Start trigger by calling the niDigital_SendSoftwareEdgeTrigger function and selecting start trigger in the trigger parameter.Related information: SendSoftwareEdgeTrigger function.
Specifies the source terminal for the Start trigger. This property is used when the NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_START_TRIGGER_TYPE attribute is set to Digital Edge.
You can specify source terminals in one of two ways. If the digital pattern instrument is named Dev1 and your terminal is PXI_Trig0, you can specify the terminal with the fully qualified terminal name, /Dev1/PXI_Trig0, or with the shortened terminal name, PXI_Trig0. The source terminal can also be a terminal from another device, in which case the NI-Digital Pattern Driver automatically finds a route (if one is available) from that terminal to the input terminal (going through a physical PXI backplane trigger line). For example, you can set the source terminal on Dev1 to be /Dev2/StartTrigger.
Defined Values:
PXI_Trig0
PXI trigger line 0
PXI_Trig1
PXI trigger line 1
PXI_Trig2
PXI trigger line 2
PXI_Trig3
PXI trigger line 3
PXI_Trig4
PXI trigger line 4
PXI_Trig5
PXI trigger line 5
PXI_Trig6
PXI trigger line 6
PXI_Trig7
PXI trigger line 7
Note These defined values are currently not supported for gRPC, instead pass the raw values specified alongside, directly.
Specifies the active edge for the Start trigger. This property is used when the NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_START_TRIGGER_TYPE attribute is set to Digital Edge.
Defined Values:
NIDIGITAL_VAL_RISING_EDGE (1800)
Asserts the trigger when the signal transitions from low level to high level.
NIDIGITAL_VAL_FALLING_EDGE (1801)
Asserts the trigger when the signal transitions from high level to low level.
Specifies the destination terminal for exporting the Start trigger.
Terminals can be specified in one of two ways. If the digital pattern instrument is named Dev1 and your terminal is PXI_Trig0, you can specify the terminal with the fully qualified terminal name, /Dev1/PXI_Trig0, or with the shortened terminal name, PXI_Trig0.
Defined Values:
Do not export signal
The signal is not exported.
PXI_Trig0
PXI trigger line 0
PXI_Trig1
PXI trigger line 1
PXI_Trig2
PXI trigger line 2
PXI_Trig3
PXI trigger line 3
PXI_Trig4
PXI trigger line 4
PXI_Trig5
PXI trigger line 5
PXI_Trig6
PXI trigger line 6
PXI_Trig7
PXI trigger line 7
Note These defined values are currently not supported for gRPC, instead pass the raw values specified alongside, directly.
Configures the digital trigger source terminal for a conditional jump trigger instance. The PXIe-6570/6571 supports triggering through the PXI trigger bus.
You can specify source terminals in one of two ways. If the digital pattern instrument is named Dev1 and your terminal is PXI_Trig0, you can specify the terminal with the fully qualified terminal name, /Dev1/PXI_Trig0, or with the shortened terminal name, PXI_Trig0. The source terminal can also be a terminal from another device, in which case the NI-Digital Pattern Driver automatically finds a route (if one is available) from that terminal to the input terminal (going through a physical PXI backplane trigger line). For example, you can set the source terminal on Dev1 to be /Dev2/ConditionalJumpTrigger0.
Specifies the terminal name from which the exported conditional jump trigger signal may be routed to other instruments through the PXI trigger bus. You can use this signal to trigger other instruments when the conditional jump trigger instance asserts on the digital pattern instrument.
