Acquire and display data from multiple PCI-5124 in a system

[testmyhardware]

Hello,

I have 2 x PCI-5124.  I would like to use them in a system so as to achive 4 channels for data capture and display.  How can this be done?  Does anybody have an example I can use with LabVIEW? The NI Scope displays data from 1 board at a time and does not provide an option to combine multiple boards.

testmyhardware,

You can use the shipping examples to help get you started.  Begin by going to Help > Find Examples.

Is Synchronization important between the two cards or are you just looking to acquire from all the channels?

If you need to synchronize the two devices then you will need a RTSI cable to connect the two cards.  You can then use our Synchronization examples to help get you started.    

Then navigate to Hardware Input and Output > Modular Instruments > NI-SCOPE > Synchronization

Otherwise you can just combine one of the generic examples. 

Hardware Input and Output > Modular Instruments > NI-SCOPE > General > niScope EX Getting Started.vi

Here is what my code looked like after I combined the above example.
