Digital Trigger

When an AI task is defined, you can configure PFI 0 as a digital trigger
input. When the digital trigger is enabled, the AI task waits for a rising edge
on PFI 0 before starting the acquisition. To use ai/Start Trigger with a
digital source, specify PFI 0 as the source and select rising edge.
Analog Output
The USB-6008/6009 has two independent AO channels that can generate
outputs from 0–5 V. All updates of AO lines are software-timed.
