How many NI-9264 module is available in one cDAQ-9178 chassis

Currently we have 
1 ea of cDAQ-9178
1 ea of NI-9264
1 ea of NI-9217
2 ea of NI-9213 
2 ea of NI-9205

 

We plan to add1 more NI-9264 and 1 more NI-9205 module

 

I found that cDAQ 9172 chassis can only use one NI 9264 module.

 

So, my question is 
Can our cDAQ 9178 operates two NI 9264 modules?

Thank you

To clarify, the cDAQ-9172 has a maximum limit of 16 hardware-timed channels of analog output.  This channel limit does not exist for software-timed AO.

The cDAQ-9178 has a limit of 16 AO channels only if onboard regeneration is used.  If you are not using onboard regen, hardware- and software-timed AO tasks can run up to 128 channels.

 

So, you can certainly add a second 9264 module to your setup.
