NI-DAQmx Software Events

NI-DAQmx Software events provide an asynchronous notification mechanism for a set of NI-DAQmx hardware signals and conditions. Using event-based programming, you can write an application that continues to perform work while waiting for data without resorting to developing a multithreaded application.

To use NI-DAQmx software events in LabVIEW, wire a task or global channel to the event source input of the Register for Events node when you dynamically register an event.

Note  NI-DAQmx software events are not supported for NI-DAQmx simulated devices.
