Trigger Terminal Connections

Use the following table to determine which trigger source terminals are compatible with which trigger destination terminals. You can connect trigger terminals with niSync Connect Trigger Terminals.

Note
  • Only devices in a system timing slot can use PXI_Star<n> terminals as a trigger source.
  • Only devices in a system timing slot can use PXIe_DStarB<n> terminals as a trigger source.
  • Only devices in a peripheral slot can use PXIe_DStarC<n> terminals as a trigger source.
