I would like to generate a digital Trigger to start a continuous aquisition with my ADC and a continous waveform generation with my Waveform Generator. I have an SMB Trig connector on the front of my PXI-8104 controller, and thought that I could use it for this purpose. How can I tell LabView to make use of that?

Hey Clinton,&nbsp;From the <a href="http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372411a.pdf" target="_blank">PXI-8104 User Manual</a>, you will find the following:&nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;The SMB connector on the NI PXI-8104 front panel can connect to or from any PXI backplane trigger line. A trigger allocation process is needed to prevent two resources from connecting to the same trigger line, resulting in the trigger being double-driven and possibly damaging the hardware. At the time of this manual&rsquo;s publication, this software is not yet available for Windows.&quot;&nbsp;Therefore, this functionality has not been implemented yet. If you would like to file a product suggestion on this please feel free to go to <a href="http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me?p_lang_id=us" target="_blank">ni.com/contact</a> and go to the Product Feedback section.&nbsp;
Thanks
