Hi,
I am using a PXIe system (PXIe-1092 chassis w/ PXIe-8881 controller) with a PXIe-5745 AWG (FlexRIO) and a NI 5742 AO attached to a PXIe-7976R FPGA FlexRIO Module. I have configured the output waveform for both of these and have successfully been able to produce a waveform but now I want to synchronize them so that they output at the same time. I am new to PXI and FlexRIO and have been trying to determine how to trigger the two modules. I have read that there is a PXI trigger bus but I am having a hard time finding good examples that aren't using NI SYNC and DAQmx, which I think won't work with my devices. There is this article talking about how I can use the PXI Star trigger with FlexRIO devices but I can't seem to find any examples.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
