fgen initialization on external Trigger

[yeshwanth]

Hi,

For the NI_Virtual Bench with the external trigger BNC, Can we trigger the Function generator to start the square wave ? I mean, i want to produce the trigger so i have the start of the square wave

You cannot trigger the function generator to start in response to an external signal.

However, you can export a signal that pulses when the FGEN starts to the external trigger BNC. You can do this with the "Dig Export Signal" entry point.

You configure it through the Digital Instrument.  Here it is in the VirtualBench application:

Here it is in the LabVIEW API:

Thanks ，will the fgen support external Trigger through Firmware update？

No, there are no current plans for the function generator to support a start trigger.
