For my application I need to generate repeatedly triggered analog outputs with the NI USB-6216. The triggers are relatively fast (20-30 ms distance) in an irregular pattern. When I setup the signal generation and a trigger connection in the Data Acquisition Toolbox of MATLBA 2017a I am able to trigger the device, but not consistently. Most of the time it skips several triggers.
Is there a hardware limitation to retriggerable events? Or does it depend on the software? Unfortunately I will not be able to purchase a LabView license, so I am limited to the Matlab toolbox. At the moment I set a trigger connection between the external trigger and the analog output, but maybe there is a better workaround to achieve what I want to do.
If somebody has the solution to my problem or information on where I could further look for a solution I would be very thankful.
Best, Marina
