Synchronization of PCI devieces via the RTSI bus using the measurement studio for Viusual Basic 6

[FedericoMunich]

Hi everyone,

I would like to synchronize a NI 4474 A/D card with a NI 6733 D/A card via the RTSI bus. Is there any way of sharing the timebase using the measurement studio for VB 6.0? It seems like it could be possible using the traditional NI-DAQ .DLL but I would prefer to do it with the ActiveX API.

I am quite desperate, since all my attempts to use the CWDAQTools1.RouteSignal and CWDAQTools1.RouteRTSI command failed miserably 😞

Thank you very much in advance!
Federico

hi Federico,

to point up that I don't have experience in what you wanna do I only could find a link in the DB.

Performing Digital Data Transfers in Visual Basic with NI 6533 Family Devices

hope this will help a little or give an impulse.

greets!

Thank you very much indeed!


Unfortunately it doesn't really work... I cannot use the DI options since my A/D card (NI 4474) does not support DI/DO... When using the other option (CWDAQTools1.RouteRTSI) I keep getting an error message that this command is inapropriate for my device (even though it does have a RTSI bus and allegedly it also supports time sharing...)

Looking forward to your answer!

Kind regards
Federico
