DAQmx Trigger Properties

Use the DAQmx Trigger properties to configure triggering for a task.

PropertyDescription
Start:Trigger Type Specifies the type of trigger to use to start a task. Details
Start:Terminal Indicates the name of the internal Start Trigger terminal for the task. This property does not return the name of the trigger source terminal. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Source Specifies the name of a terminal where there is a digital signal to use as the source of the Start Trigger. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Edge Specifies on which edge of a digital pulse to start acquiring or generating samples. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Digital Filter:Enable Specifies whether to apply a digital filter to the trigger signal. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Digital Filter:Minimum Pulse Width Specifies in seconds the minimum pulse width the filter recognizes. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Digital Filter:Timebase:Source Specifies the input terminal of the signal to use as the timebase of the pulse width filter. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Digital Filter:Timebase:Rate Specifies in hertz the rate of the pulse width filter timebase. NI-DAQmx uses this value to compute settings for the filter. Details
Start:Digital Edge:Digital Synchronization:Enable Specifies whether to synchronize recognition of transitions in the signal to the internal timebase of the device. If you set this property to TRUE, the device does not recognize and act upon the trigger until the next pulse of the internal timebase. Details
Start:Digital Pattern: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. Details
Start:Digital Pattern:Pattern Specifies the digital pattern that must be met for the Start Trigger to occur. Details
Start:Digital Pattern:Trigger When Specifies whether the Start Trigger occurs when the physical channels specified with Start.DigPattern.Src match or differ from the digital pattern specified with Start.DigPattern.PatternDetails

Start:Analog Edge:Hysteresis Specifies a hysteresis level in the units of the measurement or generation. If Start.AnlgEdge.Slope is Rising, the trigger does not deassert until the source signal passes below Start.AnlgEdge.Lvl minus the hysteresis. If Start.AnlgEdge.Slope is Falling, the trigger does not deassert until the source signal passes above Start.AnlgEdge.Lvl plus the hysteresis. Hysteresis is always enabled. Set this property to a non-zero value to use hysteresis. Details

Start:Analog Multiple Edge:Hystereses Specifies an array of hysteresis levels in the units of the measurement or generation. If the corresponding element of Start.AnlgMultiEdge.Slopes is Rising, the trigger does not deassert until the source signal passes below the corresponding element of Start.AnlgMultiEdge.Lvls minus the hysteresis. If Start.AnlgEdge.Slope is Falling, the trigger does not deassert until the source signal passes above Start.AnlgEdge.Lvl plus the hysteresis. Hysteresis is always enabled. Set this property to a non-zero value to use hysteresis. Each element of the array corresponds to a source in Start.AnlgMultiEdge.Srcs and an element in each of the other Analog Multi Edge property arrays, if they are not empty. Details
Start:Analog Multiple Edge:Couplings Specifies an array that describes the couplings for the corresponding source signal of the trigger if the source is a terminal rather than a virtual channel.

Start:More:Trigger Window Specifies the period of time in seconds after the task starts during which the device may trigger. Once the window has expired, the device stops detecting triggers, and the task will finish after the device finishes acquiring post-trigger samples for any triggers detected. If no triggers are detected during the entire period, then no data will be returned. Ensure the period of time specified covers the entire time span desired for trigger detection to avoid missed triggers. Specifying a Trigger Window of -1 causes the window to be infinite. Details
Start:More:Retrigger Window Specifies the period of time in seconds after each trigger during which the device may trigger. Once the window has expired, the device stops detecting triggers, and the task will finish after the device finishes acquiring post-trigger samples that it already started.

Start:More:Maximum Number of Triggers to Detect Specifies the maximum number of times the task will detect a start trigger during the task. The number of times a trigger is detected and acted upon by the module may be less than the specified amount if the task stops early because of trigger/retrigger window expiration. Specifying the Maximum Number of Triggers to Detect to be 0 causes the driver to automatically set this value to the maximum possible number of triggers detectable by the device and configuration combination. Note: The number of detected triggers may be less than number of trigger events occurring, because the devices were unable to respond to the trigger. Details
