Examples

Specify Session Connection Trigger Condition

Create a session and add channels and trigger to the session.

s = daq.createSession('ni');
addAnalogInputChannel(s,'Dev1', 0, 'voltage');
addAnalogInputChannel(s,'Dev2', 0, 'voltage');
addTriggerConnection(s,'Dev1/PFI4','Dev2/PFI0','StartTrigger');

Change the trigger condition to FallingEdge.

connection = s.Connections(1)
connection.TriggerCondition = 'FallingEdge'

s =
