Figure 44. DO Pause Trigger with the Onboard Clock Source

Pause Trigger

Sample Clock

If you are using any signal other than the onboard clock as the source of the sample clock, the

generation resumes as soon as the pause trigger is deasserted and another edge of the sample

clock is received, as shown in the figure below.

Using a Digital Source

To use DO Pause Trigger, specify a source and a polarity. The source can be a PFI signal or

one of several other internal signals on the cRIO controller.

You also can specify whether the samples are paused when DO Pause Trigger is at a logic high

or low level. Refer to the "Device Routing in MAX" topic in the NI-DAQmx Help or the

LabVIEW Help for more information.

Getting Started with DO Applications in Software

You can use the cRIO controller in the following digital output applications:

• Single-point (on-demand) generation

• Hardware-Timed Single Point generation

• Finite generation

• Continuous generation

For more information about programming digital output applications and triggers in software,

refer to the NI-DAQmx Help or to the LabVIEW Help.

Digital Input/Output Configuration for NI 9401

When you change the configuration of lines on a NI 9401 digital module between input and

output, NI-DAQmx temporarily reserves all of the lines on the module for communication to

send the module a line configuration command. For this reason, you must reserve the task in

advance through the DAQmx Control Task before any task has started. If another task or route
