Legal values for source and sourceSpec depend on the signal and are shown in the following
tables.
signal =
ND_IN_START_TRIGGER
Use ND_IN_START_TRIGGER to initiate a data acquisition sequence. You can use an external
signal or output of general-purpose counter 0 as a source for this signal, or you can specify
that NI-DAQ generates it (corresponds to source =
ND_AUTOMATIC).
If you do not call this function with signal =
ND_IN_START_TRIGGER, NI-DAQ uses the
default values, source =
ND_AUTOMATIC and sourceSpec = ND_LOW_TO_HIGH.
If you call
DAQ_Config with startTrig = 1, NI-DAQ calls Select_Signal function with
signal =
ND_IN_START_TRIGGER, source = ND_PFI_0, and sourceSpec =
ND_HIGH_TO_LOW.
If you call
DAQ_Config with startTrig = 0, NI-DAQ calls Select_Signal function with
signal =
ND_IN_START_TRIGGER, source = ND_AUTOMATIC, and sourceSpec =
ND_DONT_CARE.
