I am being asked to do a project that someone has determined needs four USB-6001 DAQ devices. Can four USB-6001 devices be used at the same time?

That would be the ideal way to handle it, but I may not have any control over that.
I have been tasked to do this project, but I haven't seen the specifications yet. The USB-6001 devices may already be on hand.
So there should not be a problem running all four at the same time? I don't have any experience with the USB-6001, but have used the Measurement Computing USB-1208ls on several projects - I am thinking the 6001 may be a modified copy.

Only two type of issues come to mind.
1) The customer swaps around the USB-6001 and the channel mapping gets screwed up.
2) Power saving options shut-off the USB ports.
1) can be handled tracking the S/N of the USB devices.
2) fixed in device manager and power saving options.
A USB hub may be a bad idea.
