multiple DAQ in one PC?

[yunglu]

Is it possible to install multiple DAQ cards in one PC? What is the best solution is I want to measure many channels? How will multiple cards affect the sampling rates? OS: Windows 2000.

Hello,

1. Yes it is possible to install multiple boards in one PC. Each card goes into a PCI slot.

2. If you want to measure many channels, it can be done from a single card as well since any particular card has more than one channel.

3. Multiple cards in a computer do not affect the sampling rate. Each card has its own maximum sampling rate information.
