PCIe-1433, extension boards and multiple trigger outputs

Hi All,

 

I am using two cameras and three LED lighting bars to take images of fabric from a conveyor. The cameras are interfaced with an NI PCIe-1433 card which has two extension boards attached to it. To synchronise the triggering of both the cameras and the LEDs I am using PhaseA of a quadrature encoder signal located on the conveyor. I need to produce six pulses to provide the external triggers at various points of the PhaseA waveform.

I understand that the PCIe-1433 only has 1 external output that can be used as a trigger although with the extension board this increases to 3. I am assuming that even though I have two extension boards on the same PCIe-1433 card I am unable to use the additional 3 external outputs, which would give me the total of 6 I require?

 

Any guidance would be appreciated

Hi Kmor,

 

Can you tell me what extension boards you are using?
