Hi everyone,

 

is it possible to use an external trigger for the four channel PXIe-5160 oscilloscope card?

Supported triggers are listed in the instrument specifications.

 

Yes, you can use the PFI0 and PFI1 SMB terminals on the instrument front panel to route external triggers.

Thank you for your answer, but if I understand the manual right the PFI0 and PFI1 SMB terminals are only for a digital trigger signal with max 25MHz. I have to use an analogue trigger signal with around 60MHz.

Analog trigger has to be one of the channels
