Hi Christian,

here are some ideas:
1. Use subroutine record [1] to execute a short C function including a
system() call running bash.
2. Use sequencer [2]. You can use C code in state notation language.
Again a system() call should do the job.
3. Modify the other end (your DAQ) to add a Channel Access server. This
way you can switch your DAQ on/off as well.
Cheers,
Martin
