Trigger Mode

NI-SWITCH LabVIEW

Trigger Mode

Short name: Trigger Mode

If there is only a single switch involved in a scan, then set this property to SINGLE.

If there is more than one switch involved in the scan, then the triggers should be routed between the devices. One switch acts as the master, and all others will act as slaves.

NISWITCH_VAL_SINGLE When scanning, the switch does not share trigger lines with other switches. You must set NISWITCH_ATTR_SCAN_ADVANCED_OUTPUT and NISWITCH_ATTR_TRIGGER_INPUT for this device.
NISWITCH_VAL_MASTER Multiple switches are sharing bused trigger lines for the scan and this device is the trigger master. Set NISWITCH_ATTR_MASTER_SLAVE_TRIGGER_BUS, NISWITCH_ATTR_MASTER_SLAVE_SCAN_ADVANCED_BUS, NISWITCH_ATTR_SCAN_ADVANCED_OUTPUT and NISWITCH_ATTR_TRIGGER_INPUT for this device.
NISWITCH_VAL_SLAVE Multiple switches are sharing trigger lines for the scan and this device is one of the trigger slaves. Set NISWITCH_ATTR_MASTER_SLAVE_TRIGGER_BUS and NISWITCH_ATTR_MASTER_SLAVE_SCAN_ADVANCED_BUS for this device.
