Synchro between PXI 6723 and PXI 6115 with CVI

I need to do an acquisition on a PXI 6115 board which must be synchronous with a output on a PXI 6723 board in the same PXI rack (PXI-1045). My problem is that the PXI 6723 is managed with NI DAQ mx and the PXI 6115 is managed with the NI DAQ traditionnal and I didn't found any function to do that.

How could I do that with LabWindows CVI?

Thanks for your answers.

Hi,
It doesn't matter if one board is drived with NI-DAQmx and the other with Traditional NI-DAQ. You just need to route the clock of one board to a PXI trigger line and to specity this trigger line as the clock source on the other board.
To have more information on how to program that, I suggest you to see the following ressources :
- For NI-DAQmx :
. The examples in the "...\CVIxx\samples\DAQmx\Synchronization\Multi-Device" folder
. The tutorial named "Timing and Synchronization Features of NI-DAQmx" on the following link:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/2638A8DA4E4CFD1F86256D250070C093?opendocument
- For Traditional NI-DAQ:
. The example attached to this thread.
. The tutorial named "Synchronizing Multip
le Measurement Devices" on the following link:

I hope this will help you.
