Hello,
trying to use an NI-5133 Scope to read two channels, triggering off an external signal. Labview 2011, Scope 3.9.4
I figured based on documentation that it would be no reading a trigger in on the PFI line (labelled PFI1 on the hardware, I still don't understand why it wouldn't be PFI0). Anyway, I tried using the niScope Configure Trigger block, and it will only let my choose between channel 0 and channnel 1 returning an error if I try to tell it to use the scope. I tried an alternative approach I found after perusing forums and that didn't work either, also returning an error:
niScope Initiate Acquisition.vi:1<ERR>Source terminal to be routed could not be found on the device.
Make sure the terminal name is valid for the specified device. Refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer for valid terminal names.
Source Device: NI_Scope
Source Terminal: PFI0
Destination Device: NI_Scope
Destination Terminal: StartTrigger
Status Code: -89120
Any advice on how I can get this to work triggering off the PFI line would be much-appreciated.
I've attached my VI, I know it is probably pretty poorly constructed but I am very new to Labview.
Thanks,
Wolley
