Connecting and Synchronizing Triggers

You can use niSync Connect Trigger Terminals to link hardware trigger lines together. You can also use niSync Connect Software Trigger to connect the global software trigger to a destination trigger terminal. Complete the following steps to connect trigger terminals:

  1. Place niSync Initialize.
  2. Place niSync Connect Trigger Terminals or niSync Connect Software Trigger.
  3. Wire a constant or control to source and destination and select the source of the trigger and the destination to connect it to.
    Note Note  The only acceptable source value for niSync Connect Software Triggers is Global Software Trigger.
  4. (Optional) Set additional parameters for the new trigger route:
  5. (Optional) If you are using niSync Connect Software Triggers, place niSync Send Software Trigger on the block diagram where you would like to fire the software trigger.
  6. Place niSync Disconnect Trigger Terminals or niSync Disconnect Software Trigger on the block diagram and wire the appropriate terminals.
  7. Place niSync Close on the block diagram to close the NI-Sync I/O session.
