I wish I could say "of course it will be in the next release" In all seriousness though, if you would like such a feature in NI-DAQmx, please email me a "feature request" describing a) how you might use such a feature b) the problems (if any) with existing alternatives. This will be discussed at the new features "pow-wow", and might make the cut, especially if there are no good alternatives [ and if the HW folks assure us that such a thing is possible for the new DAQ architectures they are cooking up] My email is: rajesh.vaidya@ni.com Cheers, Rajesh Vaidya, Ph.D Senior Software Engineer National Instruments

Hi, I dont believe there is an exact equivant of this functionality in NI-DAQmx. There is a "DAQmx Connect Signal.vi that allows you route various signals to RTSI/PXI lines. You might try routing an internal clock to one of these lines to drive the line. Call DAQmx Disconnect Signal when you are done. If you have multiple tasks that you want to start together, you can simply use the DAQmx Trigger vi in all the "slave" tasks, and specify "/DevX/aiStartTrigger" as the trigger source. DAQmx takes care of all the routing across the RTSI bus (assuming the devices are connected by RTSI). Your plan B or C should work as well.
