How can I synchronize multidevice tasks?

Hello, 

 

my setup features two NI DAQ boards, a PCI 6110 (Dev1, S series) and a PCIe 6323 (Dev2, X series). I would like to create a task which generates synchronized outputs (and inputs) across both devices.

 

In order to test this, I created a task in "Ni Max" with two 'ao' channels, one on Dev1 and one on Dev2. When running this simple test script, I get the following error : 

--------------

Error -201426 occurred at DAQ Assistant


Possible Reason(s):

One or more devices do not support multidevice tasks.

Device: Dev1

 

-----------------

 

The answer here (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3E79C9FAB91012A186257941000AD076) suggests however that X-series (my PCIe 6323) and S-series (my PCI 6110) devices support multidevice tasks. 

 

Both cards are connected through a RTSI cable and the cable is added in 'Ni Max' with both devices added.

 

Thank you very much for any help.

 

Cheers,
Michael
