DAQmx : How to Trigger camera and AOTF

Question

Dear,
I have a camera sCMOS and an AOTF that i want to trigger.
I have attached the description of the camera acquisition sequence.
I want to sent a digital pulse (only one pulse because I want to acquire one picture only) to the camera via the EXT/SW Trigger input of the camera and get the FIRE output of the camera which will trigger the AO lines connected to the AOTF. I have a NI PCI 6733  with 8 AO and 8 Digital line
I am very new in DAQmx and  I do not know how to proceed. Please help me. The best should be, if it is not to much, to send the correponding vi to me.
Thanks by advance

Hi Mnemo15,
Thank you for posting on NI's forum
Which model is your camera and how is it linked to your computeur ?
I think you can use daqmx example with Software Triggering (in the help menu of LabVIEW).
You can set a digital pulse and use it as a trigger to acquire a picture (by wiring this pulse to the daqmx triggering vi).
Then when you got your picture, you can start your AOTF by using the Fire output signal of your camera as a trigger.
I hope I understood each step of what you want to do.
