32 bit I/O using PCI-6533 DAQ card

[nlthomas]

I am thinking of purchasing the PCI-6533 DAQ card and need to know if the the 32 bits can be configured individually as input or output. I know that they can for unstrobed and static applications but I need to be using strobed or non-static. I also know that the you can set the 8 bit ports as input or output ports for highspeed. So my question is... Can I configure each individual line as input or output for highspeed applications?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the 653x boards can only be configured on a line-by-line basis for asynchronous digital I/O.

When in synchronous pattern acquisition/generation mode, the 653x is divided into 2 groups (2 ports in each group). These two groups can be operated independently as input or output and at different clock frequencies. However, all lines on both ports of a group are configured in the same way.

If you are looking for completely individually controlled lines in a pattern generation/acquisition application, you might consider the new high-speed digital board (NI 655x).

Hope that helps. Have a good day.
