HS32 DIO card in simultaneous pattern gen/acq(16in/16 out)

[Goal-tech]

I'm using two HS32 DIO cards. The first is configured as 32 buffered outputs and is the RTSI transmitter on line 0. The second card is separated in 16 in and 16 out and it triggers on RTSI line 0. The first card actually sends the data on the 32 outputs and send the trigger signal to RTSI bus. On the second card only the inputs works. The 16 outputs does not send the data. What would be the Labview programming sequence to make it work?

Dear Goal-tech,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

To address your question, multiple device synchronization has the same theory as single device synchronization. The trigger signal can be routed via the RTSI bus, and remember to connect the devices with a RTSI cable.

Configure both Digital Input and Digital Output for start trigger and connect the same start trigger to both trigger pins (ACK1/STARTTRIG1 and ACK2/STARTTRIG2).

Then use Trigger Config VI within the output task, and configure the output so that it controls the digital input. The output task will be the master and the input task will be the slave, and they will be synchronized through the REQ lines of the RTSI bus.

I included an example because this can be confusing.
I'm assuming you're using Traditional DAQ as DAQmx isn't supported with the 6533.

Let me know if you have any further questions or if this does not resolve your issue.

Thanks again and have a great day!
