I have a need to acquire the signal of 16 individual detectors simulataneously. The idea of connecting the detectors to the computer is as follows:
16 Detectors --> 16 Pre Amps --> 2 NI PCI-4472 boards --> lock-in software on LabVIEW
Has anyone any experience in using the NI PCI-4472 boards with several detectors and parallel lock-in detection? Is it possible to run the lock-in software in parallel to acoomodate several detectors simultaneously?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I think you might be interested in taking a look at a few examples: <link no longer exists> and DAQmx and <link no longer exists>. Both of these examples should be a good starting poing for your application, it should be possible to run the lock-in software in parallel. Also, have you checked out NI's Lock-IN Amplifier Start-Up Kit? Have a great weekend!
