Error -200265 When Using an Analog Trigger in NI-DAQ™mx

Issue Details

I am trying to trigger acquisition on an NI data acquisition device using the DAQmx Start Trigger.vi, with an analog trigger but I get error 200265. One of the following error is occurring:

Solution

If the error does not indicate any valid choices, this means that your NI data acquisition device does not support analog triggers.

For users of the NI 9233 and NI 9234 modules, triggering acquisition works differently. For guidance on how to set up triggering with these modules, please refer to the following article:  Can I Trigger an NI 9233 or NI 9234 Module?

It is important to note that if your device is a simulated device, triggering is not supported on any version of DAQmx.

 

Additional Information

The list of C series devices and the types of triggering they support are listed on: Supported Trigger Types for DAQ Devices.

For additional considerations, please refer to Analog Triggering Considerations for C Series, E Series, M Series, and S Series Devices.

Simulated devices have various limitations. They cannot perform all the same tasks as the physical hardware. Please refer to the following article for a tutorial on creating simulated devices and their limitations: NI-DAQ™mx Simulated Devices .
