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.
