C.4 Software A/D Trigger — BASE+00H

You can trigger an A/D conversion from software, the card's onboard pacer or an external pulse. If you select software triggering, a write to the register BASE+00H with any value will trigger an A/D conversion.

Bits 1 and 0 of register BASE+09H select the trigger source. See page 67 for BASE+09H register layout and programming information.
