I apoligize if there is already a forum topic about this but I have a couple of questions regarding the PXI 6071E DAQ cards.
The task is for numerous stations to collect synchronous data, as it stands each station has its own DAQ card we are leaning toward using the 10 PFI pins in between the DAQ cards by making hardwire connections in between the stations. What we want is to be able to set the Master station, aka Master DAQ card, through some software based application as the Master station in the lab is subject to change based on the experiement that may be running.
So here are the inquiries
Is there a way to connect PFI pins in between multiple DAQ cards and have only one of the triggering PFI pins on these DAQ cards act as a master triggering signal for the other DAQ cards. Can this master-slave establishment be set through from a software perspective, where every time a station turns on the master DAQ card has to be set with respect to other stations in operation.
I know these questions may be a little confusing but if there is any confusion please feel free to tell me, I was trying to keep the post small, and well I failed.
Thanks
Ryan
