delay between clock rising edge and startscan with PCI6115

I use a 6534 digital card to pilot multiplexers addresses @ 5MHz. Its clock is shared with a PCI 6115 card. I want to read voltages at the output of the multiplexers with the 6115 card. The problem is that there is a too small delay between the rising edge of the clock and the StartScan + Convert*; i.e. the multiplexer has not finished its job when the 6115 reads its output value

How to delay startscan by 1/(2*clock_freq)=100ns ?

Greetings,

Have you tried adding an interchannel delay to your scan? Use the interchannel delay input to the AI Config VI to specify the waiting time between sampling channels within a scan. The default value for interchannel delay is -1.0, which tells the AI Config VI to use the channel clock rate LabVIEW selects. Adding an interchannel delay will give your multiplexer more time to settle before the 6115 acquires data.
