Hello Everybody,
could any of you tell me what is the impact of adding RTSI configuration to the NI MAX configuration in case I already sharing trigger between the devices in the one chassis as shown in the attached picture .
I got problem in the NI-MAX configuration and one of the suggestion is to add that. my concern if there will be any conflict between the two method.
Thank you very much
best regards

Hi thoalfukar,
I just came across your post coincidentally. Is your question already answered?
Generally speaking, if you want your devices to share triggers, a trigger bus needs to be available both physically (makes sense somehow...) and in software (so that e.g. NI MAX knows it can create a route on it).
Using PCI devices, you must configure your RTSI cable manually in NI MAX.
PXIe devices / PXI trigger backplanes are automatically registered when you use the Identify chassis function in NI MAX.
From the picture you attached I believe to see that you only use PXIe devices, is that correct?
What exactly is the problem you are facing in NI MAX?
Edit: Found it on NIDAQmx help: Plugging in and Registering Your RTSI Cable in MAX
