scan order and empty channels for SCXI-1102

Hello-
 
Sorry for the cross-board re-post, but I really need to get this answered asap.
 
I have two SCXI-1102 cards in my chassis, all measurements will be routed to ch0 of the PXI-6229 that is also in the chassis. For design reasons, I prefer to use about 2/3 of each 1102, and thus leaving about 1/3 of each 1102 empty.

Should I populate the channels in any particular order? Eg should I start at ch0 or ch31, and which direction is the scan order? e.g. 1102a/ch0 -> 1102a/ch15 and then 1102b/ch0 -> 1102b/ch15 OR say 1102a/ch15 -> 1102/ch0 and then 1102b/ch15 -> 1102b/ch0

Does this matter AT ALL with a PXI/SCXI system? I know with many DAQ devices (E-series for example) you must scan in descending order (eg. 7,6,5...0) so it makes more sense to start populating the last channel first and then leave the lower-numbers empty.



thanks-
