Is it possible to add multiple devices in one task??

Hi,

One task cannot contain multiple independent devices. What this means is you cannot have channels from two different DAQ devices configured in the same task. For example, you cannot have one Analog Input channel from "PXI1Slot4" and one Analog Input channel from "PXI1Slot5" configured in the same task.

If you want to use tasks to acquire or generate samples on multiple DAQ boards, you must configure a separate task for each of the devices (DAQ boards) being used. In your system you can use one DAQ board to control the entire SCXI system which can be done by only connecting a single PXI card to the SCXI chassis and configuring your system as is illustrated in Chapter 2 of Getting Started with SCXI. If you wish to use a separate DAQ board for each SCXI module then you must create a separate task for each.
