[micro-manager-general] Trigger NI-DAQ Board

[glihaug <gl...@em...>]

To anyone who has had success triggering NI-DAQ Board,

I have a NI PCIe-6323. I'm trying to trigger the board to output a
pre-defined sequence of voltages using MicroManager. I am trying to avoid
running a separate program, although I know people have been successful with
Arduino and Labview. 

I originally thought setting the triggerInputLine property to a PFI-x port
would enable triggering. However, whenever I use this property, the analog
output is set by the trigger source. For whatever signal I input into the
triggerInputLine, the analog output outputs the last voltage of the trigger
source. 

I was wondering if it would be possible to trigger an output that is loaded
onto the buffer, instead of the outputting the input of the trigger source.
I tried using the commands- AddToDASequence() and SendToDASequence() with
Beanshell. I received no feedback error when running the script. I'm
assuming the sequence has been loaded, but I am not able to observe the
sequence as an analog output, nor can I trigger the output of that sequence.

If anyone knows if the board I am using triggerable or not, please let me
know. Also, if anyone else has had success telling the board to output a
sequence of voltages, I would like to know how you set that up.

Thanks,
Grace
