The digital pattern instrument waits for this trigger after you call Initiate or you burst a pattern, and does not burst a pattern until it receives this trigger. Use the Send method to send the software trigger to the digital pattern instrument.
Note
For more information on triggers, refer to the Triggers and Events and Supported Triggers and Events topics in the Digital Pattern Help. Example applications are located in the <Public Documents>\National Instruments\NI-Digital\Examples\DotNET 4.x directory or in the Start menu at National Instruments » NI Digital Pattern Examples.
