Programmatically Trigger DAQmx Trigger

Hi All

So I am relearning labview and I am trying to do something I am not sure I can do.

I have a NI USB 6210 and I have my triggers setup and they work fine.

What I want is to have a button on the front panel that allows me to trigger via the user interface, in addition to the hardware triggers.

I could define different run modes (one hardware and one via the front panel) and handle this programmatically, but I would think i could just set the trigger directly..

Is there some reason this cannot be done?

I cannot seem to find any relavent examples.

Thanks
