Synchronize Two M-Series Devices for Analog Acquisition and Acquire Frequency Measurements Using LabVIEW with DAQmx

[George_P_Burdell]

Overview
This VI shows how to synchronize two PCI M-Series devices connected with a RTSI cable for analog acquisition while acquiring low (1hz to 1 Mhz) frequency measurements for each analog signal.

Description
This example demonstrates how to acquire a continuous amount of data (Waveform) using the DAQ device's internal clock.  It also shows how to synchronize two devices for different device families (E Series, M Series, and DSA), to simultaneously acquire the data.

Requirements

Software

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
• NI DAQmx 12.0 (or compatible)

Hardware

•  M-Series DAQ

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Create an analog input voltage channel for both the Master and Slave devices.
2. Set timing parameters.
3. Run the VI
