PXI to PXIe multiple chassis migration

[KingWeasel11]

Is there a more modern take on  this white paper (Getting Started with Multichassis Synchronization Using the NI PXI-6653 and the NI PXI-4472)? 

In my case, my current system uses 4472s for DAQ and 6652s for timing and triggering between multiple 1044/5 chassis, as described in the white paper. I am trying to build a similar multiple chassis system, but this time using a 1085 chassis, 4303 for DAQ, and 6674T for timing and triggering. Is there a similar paper that will hold my hand as much as the previous paper, only for PXIe systems? 

I think I can extrapolate from other sources (this one in particular), but I thought I'd query for an even more basic one.

Hello,

The same principles should apply. There's a lot on that document that can still be used.

This link below is not a white paper, but it an outstanding resource (essentially, it is an anecdotal note from someone who got away with it). It uses a star configuration, so the method may be an overkill depending on your synchronization requirements, and a star configuration will undoubtedly needs more resources than a daisy-chain like the one in the document you linked. However, it does a great job showing how to get the signals routing done, so even if you go for the daisy-chain, it should still be useful.

Does it help?

That'll do it! There are some details specific to my setup that I need to work out. Should I post my notes in this thread? I'd love to get some more eyes on this to keep me honest.

Hello,

Glad to help! Posting here is fine!

My adventures continue in this post. I'm trying to figure out how to tell two chassis that they share a start trigger.
