Using SCXI-1520 in Parallel Mode.

[Avasarala]

Hi all,
I am using SCXI-1000 chassis and PCI-1024E DAQ card.
I want to use my SCXI-1520 in Parallel mode.
Is there any other way to configure my 1520 in parallel mode other than directly connecting to DAQ board using SCXI-1180 feed through panel and SCXi-1302?
Some of my friends are telling that there are some Patch files, through which we can use the scxi-1520 in parallel mode. Is it true? If it is true please give me how use the Patch files( or alternative solutions).

Thanq

Regards

Preetam,

As explained in the SCXI-1520 user manual, Traditional NI-DAQ does not support true parallel mode operation of the SCXI-1520. However, NI-DAQmx does. I would recommend installing NI-DAQ 7.2, which includes the latest version of both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx. Then you can use the NI-DAQmx driver to control your SCXI-1520 in parallel mode. To configure the SCXI-1520 in parallel mode with NI-DAQmx, simply select the Parallel Mode check box when setting up your chassis and modules in MAX. I hope this information helps.
