/* UL call demonstrated: ulDaqInSetTrigger() Purpose: ulDaqInSetTrigger Demonstration: Uses the first available trigger type to set up an external trigger that is used to start a scan of the available analog, digital, and/or counter subsystems Steps: 1. Call ulGetDaqDeviceInventory() to get the list of available DAQ devices 2. Call ulCreateDaqDevice() to to get a handle for the first DAQ device 3. Verify the DAQ device has an DAQ input subsystem 4. Get the channel types supported by the DAQ input subsystem 5. Call ulConnectDaqDevice() to establish a UL connection to the DAQ device 6. Configure the available analog, digital, and counter channels 7. Call ulDaqInSetTrigger to set the external trigger 8. Call ulDaqInScan() to start the scan 9. Call ulDaqInScanStatus to check the status of the background operation 10. Display the data for each channel 11. Call ulDaqInScanStop() to stop the background operation 12. Call ulDisconnectDaqDevice and ulReleaseDaqDevice() before exiting the process */ #include #include #include "uldaq.h" #include "utility.h" // prototypes UlError ConfigureAnalogInputChannels(int numberOfChannels, Range range, DaqInChanDescriptor* descriptors, int* scanDesriptorIndex);
