NI-5133 won't acknowledge PFI as channel to trigger from

$

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
