PCI DIO 96 access from multiple applications

[test_man]

I just want to confirm if I can access PCI-DIO-96 inputs from multiple separate applications.

Howdy test_man!

Are you refering to phsyical connects to the PCI-DIO-96 or referencing the device from multiple software applications?

If you are refering to physical connections you can use a connector box to access all of the pins from the PCI-DIO-96 to connect them to your different devices.

If you are refering to software access then no, you cannot have multiple programs opening up tasks with the same PCI-DIO-96 card.  You will get a resource conflict error because the device is already in use.

Thanks for the reply.

I am referring to multiple software application accessing same digital lines. For example reading input line1 of Port 1 by 2 separate applications. One correction to my post. Hardware is PC-DIO-96. it is ISA based card.

And I think I tried using it from multiple application and it worked.

You can have multiple applications access the same device if they do it at different times, but if they try to access it at the same time it will produce the resource conflict error.
