Configures the task to stop the acquisition when the device acquires all pretrigger samples, matches a digital pattern, and acquires all posttrigger samples. When you use a Reference Trigger, the default for the read RelativeTo property is First PretriggerSample with a read Offset of zero.

Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png trigger when —

    trigger when specifies the condition under which the trigger occurs.

    Pattern Does Not Match (10253)

    Trigger when the physical channels do not match the specified pattern.

    Pattern Matches (10254)

    Trigger when the physical channels match the specified pattern.

  • cgenclassrntag.png task/channels in —

    task/channels in is the name of the task or a list of virtual channels to which the operation applies. If you provide a list of virtual channels, NI-DAQmx creates a task automatically.

  • cdaqmxscale.png source —

    source specifies the physical channels to use for pattern matching. The order of the physical channels determines the order of the pattern. If a port is included, the order of the physical channels within the port is in ascending order.

  • cstr.png pattern —

    pattern specifies the digital pattern that must be met for the trigger to occur.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.

    The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

  • cu32.png pretrigger samples per channel —

    pretrigger samples per channel specifies the minimum number of samples to acquire per channel before recognizing the Reference Trigger. The number of post-trigger samples per channel is equal to number of samples per channel in the DAQmx Timing VI minus pretrigger samples per channel.

  • igenclassrntag.png task out —

    task out is a reference to the task after this VI or function runs. If you wired a channel or list of channels to task/channels in, NI-DAQmx creates this task automatically.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces.

    Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
