I am unsuccessfully trying to use external triggering with an NI MIO card (PXI-6031E) using PFI0. This is a suboptimal choice for the external trigger input because of the conflict with analog triggering, but I'm stuck with it (for now). Anyway, I've set up my comedi_cmd using... cmd->start_src = TRIG_EXT; cmd->start_arg = CR_CHAN(0); cmd->start_arg |= CR_EDGE; When I run the program, it never finishes even though I have a nice 1 PPS pulse going into the PFI0 input. If I leave out the CR_EDGE flag, it triggers right away. If I add a CR_INVERT flag it never triggers. It seems like my 1 PPS signal is not getting through to the chip and the trigger detection logic is just seeing a constant level. I'm going to reverify my connections again, but has anyone ever gotten PFI0 external triggering to work with an NI MIO card and Comedi? Thanks, Dave
