Error when trying to edge-trigger to a input voltage smaller 300mVpp

The programm shown in a cut below (just a cut of it) reads multiple channels from the PXI5105. The program allows to choose between different triggers. When I choose edge-triggering and the value of the input voltage I am triggering to is smaller than 300 mVpp the program stops and sets an error. With the 'Highlight function' I found out that the error is set at the '1D WDT'-vi.

The error message:

ERROR
"Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA4009)
A previous acquisition is still in progress. If you are attempting to change an attribute, note you can only change fetch attributes while an acquisition is still in progress.

Status Code: -1074118647

I guess, if the voltage gain isn`t high enough the '1D WDT'-vi waits the 'timeout' = 5s for the trigger, isn`able to get one, and stops. But what can I do to trigger to smaller voltages as 300 mVpp? There is no option to change it. The trigger level of the 'Analog Edge Ref Trigger' is set to 0.

This will also happen if you set the full scale input range too small (too sensitive).

To troubleshoot stuff like this I would advise using a standard oscilloscope (or prebuilt vi, if necessary free-running) to make sure your signal really is what you think it is.

Im WebSeb...writing with my private account now.

I actually used an example for the trigger setup. Did you mean the vertical input range should be set higher? Its already set to 10V.

Im sorry if I misunderstood you. Thank you for your help.

Well then that's not it.

Not triggering at low voltages- can be caused by either scale too high (so that 1 bit is bigger than the trigger level, not the case here) or scale too low (because of saturation the acquired signal never reaches the trigger level).
