.NET for PXI-6672 Timing Module?

[cmuss]

I have a series of PXI chassis, each running the same operations, but I want to synchronize those operations to start and stop at the same time.  For this, in each chassis I have a PXI-6672 Timing Module which I have not implemented yet.  I have been using the .NET 4.0 framework to build up my code and so I would like to continue to use this framework when implementing the 6672's, however I haven't been able to find any resources for doing this.  Is there any way to use the .NET 4.0 framework to implement 6672 Timing Modules?

Hey cmuss,

I would recommend starting with some of the synchronization examples for .NET 4.0 that ship with DAQmx:

Measurement Studio NI-DAQmx .NET Examples

If you find that these are not installed on your computer, it may be necessary to modify your current DAQmx installation to include .NET 4.0 examples.

Hope this helps!

Hi cmuss,

The PXIe-6672 uses the NI-Sync driver. Unfortunately this driver doesn't have a .NET API. It does have a C API (enable "C Language Support" when you run the installer), which I know some people have tried to use from .NET languages, but I've not done so myself. For example, see this thread:
