how to use internal trigger with NI PCI-6036E

Hello

does anybody have any working example of using an internal trigger
with the NI PCI-6036E?

I would like to assemble a command with start_src = TRIG_INT and then
use (presumably) PFI/0-TRIGGER_IN to trigger a scan, with a comedi I/O
operation.

At the moment I am using start_src = TRIG_EXT, and then I use a
digital output to drive PFI/0 to get the scan triggered. But I think
it should be possible to drive internally PFI/0 using subdevice #7:

subdevice 7:
  type: 5 (digital I/O)
  number of channels: 10
  max data value: 1
  ranges:
    all chans: [0,1]
  command:
    not supported

I tried to set channel #0 of subdevice 7 to trigger a scan but I did
not succeed.  I guess some additional configuration is needed.

So, does anybody succeded in that?  Is the driver supposed to support
this kind of opration?
