Configure a digital edge Start trigger

- [Instructor] To demonstrate how to implement a digital edge start trigger with the DAQmx API, I'll extend the example program shown here which performs a basic, finite, analog input task. The triggering VI should be used to configure the trigger settings before you start the task. So I'll select everything from the start VI to the right and shift those over to make room for my triggering VI and then break these wires. I'll navigate to the Functions Palette, Measurement I/O, DAQmx menu, and select the triggering VI. Like many of the other DAQmx VIs, the Trigger VI is polymorphic which allows me to select different instances of the VI for different types of triggers. If I left-click on the selector, I see options for start and reference triggers. I'm interested in using a start trigger, and I see lots of options there for different types of digital and analog triggers. I'll select Digital Edge. I'll press Control + H to…
