The source also can be one of several internal signals on your DAQ device.
Refer to Device Routing in MAX in the NI-DAQmx Help or the LabVIEW
Help for more information.
You also can specify whether the waveform generation begins on the rising
edge or falling edge of AO Start Trigger.

Using an Analog Source

When you use an analog trigger source, the waveform generation begins on
the first rising edge of the Analog Comparison Event signal. Refer to the
Triggering with an Analog Source
more information.
Routing AO Start Trigger Signal to an Output
Terminal
You can route AO Start Trigger out to any PFI <0..15>, RTSI <0..7>, or
PXIe-DSTARC terminal.
The output is an active high pulse. PFI terminals are configured as inputs
by default.

AO Pause Trigger Signal

Use the AO Pause Trigger (ao/PauseTrigger) signal to mask off samples in
a DAQ sequence. That is, when AO Pause Trigger is active, no samples
occur.
AO Pause Trigger does not stop a sample that is in progress. The pause does
not take effect until the beginning of the next sample.
When you generate analog output signals, the generation pauses as soon as
the pause trigger is asserted. If the source of your sample clock is the
