Examples

Specify Number of Triggers Per Operation

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');

Display Session’s TriggersPerRun Property.

s.TriggersPerRun

ans =

     1

Set the trigger to run twice during the operation.

s.TriggersPerRun = 2

s =
