PXI MIO 6229 - One terminal to multiple destinations?

[Ed_Perkins]

I'm using LabWindows/CVI (C API) with DAQmx.  Is it possible to route one terminal to multiple destinations?  For example, I would like to route PFI4 to the PXI_Trig0 line and also back out to the PFI10 line.  My app (a TestStand sequence) has access to a routine that eventually calls "DAQmxConnectTerms" to perform the connection.  Can I just make two successive calls, one for PFI4 -> PXI_Trig0 and one for PFI4 ->PFI10?

I looked at the 6229 device route map in MAX and don't see a HW problem.  The PFI4 ->PFI10 route requires additional routing resources ("Locust/tioCounterPair/Counter1SourceRaw" and "Ctr1Source"), but I'm not using the counter in my app.  So that shouldn't be a problem.

TIA,

I do not believe there is a software method to route one PFI line to two different destinations.  You may be able to route two PFI lines to the same trigger, but I do not think you will be able to program what you described.

I took another look at the issue, and you can definitely connect PFI4 to the trigger then after connect the trigger back to PFI10, which should be essentially the same as what you are trying to do.  DAQmxConnectTermials will be able to do both.
