I want to trigger an analog output from a digital trigger on NI PCI 6713
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371011c.pdf
According to the datasheet I can use PFI <0..9> and those pins are indeed shown in green in NI MAX with ao/StartTrigger
My code is the following:
task = nidaqmx.Task()
task.ao_channels.add_ao_voltage_chan("Dev12/ao0")
task.triggers.start_trigger.cfg_dig_edge_start_trig("Dev12/PFI0")
task.timing.cfg_samp_clk_timing(rate=1)
task.start()
task.write([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,0])
I recieve the following error:
DaqError: Source terminal to be routed could not be found on the device.
Make sure the terminal name is valid for the specified device. Refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer for valid terminal names.
Property: DAQmx_DigEdge_StartTrig_Src
Property: DAQmx_DigEdge_StartTrig_Edge
Source Device: Dev12
Source Terminal: Dev12/PFI0
Channel Name: Dev12/ao0
Task Name: _unnamedTask<1C>
Status Code: -89120
I use Python 3.7
device_name/channel_name
./device_name/terminal
.Note the leading slash for terminals:
task.ao_channels.add_ao_voltage_chan("Dev12/ao0")
task.triggers.start_trigger.cfg_dig_edge_start_trig("/Dev12/PFI0")
