Trigger inputs through USB receiver

I have to send trigger signals from a capacitive touch sensor to biosemi through the USB receiver. The sensor output is 5V digital. I have soldered this output to pin1 of the DB37 connector. Pin 37 is grounded. I have left all the other trigger pins (2-16) untouched. My question is will the actiview software detect the trigger signal when pin1 goes to 5V.

I believe biosemi recognizes that the trigger pins are 'active high' when there is no input. should i ground the other trigger pins?
Thanks!

Yes.

Not necessary.
