Initialize Multiple NI6555 Cards as A Single DIO

Hello, 

 

I am currently working on adapting an existing Test Executive Shell (written in C#) onto an NI PXIe system. The system has 4 NI6555 cards, and needs to be able to test several different PCBs, some with more than 24 I/O pins. The original system had the ability to initialize all Digital IO cards as a single unit with channels 0-96, as opposed to 4 seperate cards each with channels named 0-24. The goal was if for example an engineer needed to write a test that accessed pin #75, the drivers would link that pin to channel #16 of the card in slot 6.  

 

Is it possible to initialize more than one card at once, and have the drivers treat them all as a single card? If not, is there a simple alternative? I am currently writing these drivers in C# and using the C to C# wrapper. 

 

Thanks!

 

Jason
