How do I set up Labview to handle two 6110 DAQ cards to run on the same trigger?

[EthanSpectroscopy]

I have two 6110E cards, each connected to a BNC 2110 box. I'm using Labview to record 8 voltage channels. Getting a trigger to activate one of the cards is straightforward enough. However, I am having problems getting two cards to run off of the same trigger. The master card performs fine, but the slave's bandwidth seems to be severely impaired. When I swap the cards, the old slave works fine, and the old master does not i.e. the problem is not the cards. Same story for the BNC boxes. Thus, I think there's a Labview programming trick I'm not seeing.

Thanks,
Ethan

Hello Ethan,

For an example of how to have two 6110E cards trigger off the same trigger, take a look at the labview example program installed at this file path:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\examples\daq\multidev\rtsi_ai.llb\Two E-Series Shared Digital Trigger.vi

This examples takes advantage of the RTSI bus to synchronize the two cards.

Take care,
