DAQEvent=3 through 8—These DAQEvents are for interrupt-driven data acquisition only. 
See 
Set_DAQ_Device_Info for switching between interrupt-driven and DMA-driven data 
acquisition.
If you are using a DIO 6533 device in pattern match trigger mode, you cannot select 
DAQEvent 7 or 8. Refer to the 
DIG_Trigger_Config function for an explanation of the 
pattern match trigger mode.
If you are using a Lab or 1200 Series device in pretrigger mode, NI-DAQ does not send any 
messages you configure for the end of the acquisition. These devices do not generate an 
interrupt at the end of the acquisition when in pretrigger mode.
DAQEvent=9—NI-DAQ sends a message when a transition (low to high or high to low) 
appears on a counter output or external timing signal I/O pin. Table 2-17 shows the possible 
counters and external timing signals that are valid for each supported device.
If you are using one of the counters on the PC-TIO-10 for your timing signal, you must 
connect the counter output to the EXTIRQ pin either externally through the I/O connector or 
with the two jumpers on the device. The jumpers connect the OUT2 and OUT7 pins with the 
EXTIRQ1 and EXTIRQ2 pins, respectively. NI-DAQ returns an error if you specify a counter 
that is in use. Use EXT1 for the chanStr parameter regardless of which EXTIRQ pin you are

You can configure only one 
such event message at a time on 
a device, except on the 
PC-TIO-10, which can have 
two.
