Synchronizing 2 different pxi 5421's using ni-tclk and inverting one signal

I have 2 PXI 5421 function generators. At preset  through my vi I load a  .hws file and the 2 generators output the same signal all in phase and triggering of the same point. What I fundamentally need to do is invert one signal 180 degrees and keep them still triggering off the same point.

 

im not sure how to either invert the signal on one 5421 or how to separate the code so that each signal generator is separate.

Hi l_m_s,

 

When you say invert the signal 180 degrees, do you mean just a negative image of the original function? You can invert a signal that is centered around zero using the negate function in LabVIEW.

 

At the moment you have an array selecting both cards in their relative positions and performing the same task on them, You should probably seperate this into two seperate lines for each card and then work on sychronising them.

 

Kind regards,
