Accessing PCI-6528 from RT board (PCI-7041)

[DavidT]

Hello everyone,

I would like to access &/or control my PCI-6528 board from my PCI-7041/6040E RT board. What possible methods are available for me to control the DIO on the the 6528? (I would like to avoid using the DIO on the 7041 daughter board if possible).

thanks

David

Hi David,

That's a great question.  It would be a logical conclusion that since the PCI-7041/6040E is in the PCI bus that it could offer Real-Time control to the other cards in the PCI bus.

Unfortunately though, the PCI-7041/6040E can only offer Real-Time control for the one daughter board directly associated with it.  All of the other cards would require talking through the normal PCI bus and would lose any Real-Time capabilities.

I hope this helps you better understand what's going on.

Regards,
