The niSwitch Send Software
Trigger
VI and the
niSwitch_SendSoftwareTrigger
function allow you to advance to the next entry in a scan list through a software
command. You can use this software command instead of sending triggers on the trigger
input terminal. The switch can still optionally send a trigger on measurement complete
once it has settled. Call the niSwitch Send Software Trigger VI or the
niSwitch_SendSoftwareTrigger function again to execute the next
scan list entry. The switch can still optionally send a trigger on the digital pulse, or
measurement complete signal, once it has settled. The following figure represents a
software trigger scanning application.
Note Some devices may not support
scanning. Refer to your device book for more information about supported features.
