syncronize data acquisition with signal generation

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello every one,

My application is to generate pulses on two differents output to drive two LEDs and acquire detected pulse on photodiode amplified signal.

Actually pulse are generated by starting write on the analog output, then start the acquisition (I need 200ms to average), stop the acquisition, switch off LED driving and elaborate the acquisition and save the results.

All of this in a cycle that it take about 1.5s to run.

Next step would be to drive the outputs with a waveform (250ms width 50% duty cycle) and acquire the photodiode signal in sync with pulse edge.

I tried to use trigger function, but the examples are not clear on how to do it.

I'm using NI  9205 or 9215 to acquire signals.

Is there a particular input to use as trigger?

 

Many thanks for your attention

Hi,

 

I found that NI 9205 has only one inputto be used as trigger signal, that is AI0.

 

Bye for now
