Triggering to PXI-6542 sessions simultaneously

[Steve_Block]

I have a PXI-6542 card and want to trigger a generation and acquisition session simulataneously. I looked at the examples and encountered two problems.

   1: They required external wiring. The DDC Clk out needs to be wrapped to the Strobe and I think that PFI1 needs to be wrapped to PFI2. I would like to be able to do this internally.

   2: I could not get it to work.

Ideally I would like to be able to use a software trigger to start both the acq session and the gen session in sequence. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

Steve,

Thank you for posting on the NI Forums. It appears as though you can internally route PFI1 to PFI2 using the DAQmx Connect Terminals, just make sure to disconnect the terminals when you are done with your program or otherwise they will not be disconnected until you do another software disconnect or perform a software reset of the device. You are however unable to internally route the DDC Clk to the Strobe line, so that is one connection you will have to manually make. 

When you say that you were unable to get the program to work was that a modified program with the software trigger, or was that the shipping example just as is? I am guessing you are looking at the Dynamic Generation and Acquisition - Source Synchronous. VI. If the shipping example was not working could you provide me some details on what was happening, if you were getting errors? Thanks!
