SCXI different Modules Compatability

[Dunty]

I am using a SXCI 1000 (4-slot) chassis with one SCXI-1100 module and 3 SCXI-1102 modules. I want to know if I can multiplex a SCXI-1100 moudule with a SCXI-1102 module to one pulg in DAQ board and the other two SCXI-1102 modules into another plug in DAQ board, eventhough all moudles are housed in the same chassis.

Dunty,

Please refer to the following Knowledge Base article for more information.

Can I Use SCXI Modules in Parallel Mode and Multiplexed Mode in the Same Chassis?

In your situation you are asking to run all four modules in multiplexed mode with two of them being the controlers. Therefore you will have two groups and this is not possible. If you decide to multiplex the SCXI-1100 module with a SCXI-1102 module to one DAQ board then you will have two modules left over. You could set both remaining SCXI-1102 modules to parallel mode or you could set one to parallel mode and multiplex the last module with the first SCXI-1100 and 1102.
