Multiboard DAQ synchronization

[viScience]

I noticed that DAQmx allows multiple DSA channels form different devices to be added to the same AI task.  Is this capability allowable on any other AI devices like M or X series?

Hi sachsm,

X Series, DSA, SC Express, and S Series devices currently support multidevice tasks (C Series as well if you consider multiple modules in a single chassis as multiple devices).

Here is a KB on the matter, which includes most of the caveats:

Synchronizing DSA, S Series, and X Series Devices With a Single NI-DAQmx Task 

For information about multidevice tasks in SC Express, you can refer to the following document:

Any plans for including PXI M series in the future? Or even better a mix of M and X series?

Hi sachsm,

To my knowledge there aren't any current plans to support multidevice tasks on M Series, although this seems like a perfectly reasonable feature request for the Data Acquisition Idea Exchange.

Best Regards,
