On the 5V receiving side, the DIO is the best way. The Digital Input example on 358's page may help: http://team358.org/files/programming...2009-/LabVIEW/
Thank you very much for that information. That is very informative. I believe that it's legal under R29.
The information in R51 we were unaware of. We'll change course on our triggering system to accommodate.
We're taking a look at Team 358's example now.

Thanks again. This is an amazing resource that we're very grateful to have access to.
