<I have re-posted this query due to a lack of response on the DIO channel> Hello,
I am about to use Melexis 90316
IC's: 4 of them. I am communicating using the SPI framework with the
USB 8451. Figure 17.4.2 of the datasheet I have attached essentially
shows how I would connect the chips. Here's the problem: I am looking
to acquire all the data at the same time, but the 8451 only has one
MOSI and one MISO port. Is there a way to setup the DIO channels on the
other side of the device to acquire the MISO data continuously and in
parallel from all 4 chips? Additionally: I have just begun to
familiarize myself with the C++ API: do I have to run everything as a
script to make things go faster? How does one do continuous streaming
of input data without constantly having to query each IC?
Unfortunately the 8451 can only communicate with one device on the MOSI/MISO at a time. Therefore for this application you will need 4 8451's to acquire MISO data continuously and in parallel from all 4 chips.
