Controlling two instruments simultaneously.

[Yan Sim]

I have a FP-1000 connecting to a PC. Some field signals coming from two different instruments via FP-DO-410, FP-DI-330 and FP-AI-110. Can I control these two instrument simultaneously?

Yan,

There is no way to synchronize the FP IO modules between them as indicated in this tutorial:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/2124F6BBD29663D886256CB80054DBD7?OpenDocument#4

But you can control these two instruments almost simultaneously minus propagation time in the serial line and small delays between FP modules.
