Hello!
I'd like to have an analog output card output the first part of a buffer, and then pause itself until it receives an external trigger to resume outputting the rest of the buffered data.
The easiest method, starting a second task and setting up a start trigger for that task, doesn't work because that can take ~15ms, which is too slow - the external trigger frequently occurs in less than that amount of time.
It looks like handshake triggers almost achieve what I need, but I don't think it's possible within that framework; I'm not sure though.
The only solution I can think of involves having the card trigger its own pause trigger with a regular output, and having the external source also connected to the same pause trigger, with the two signals combined with physical AND gate. It seems like a better solution should exist.
I appreciate any pointers!
