PCI-6542: Determine location in waveform file where trigger occurred?

$

Hi guys,

 

We were thinking about getting a PCI-6542 to run as a Digital Waveform Generator to run a DAC.  But when external events occur we may need the generator to pause or stop.  I see there are ports that can be used as input triggers to stop/pause the waveform generation.  However, when this trigger occurs, we need to know where in the card's memory the waveform stopped (number of bytes sent since beginning of file).  Is it possible to get this easily from the card, or will it have to be done by some other means?  I can't seem to find a VI that can read back from the card where the trigger occurred in the waveform.

 

Thanks!

Ryan
