PCI-DAS6034, PCI-DAS6035, and PCI-DAS6036 User's Guide
DAQ-Sync configuration
You can interconnect multiple boards in the PCI-DAS6000 series to synchronize data acquisition or data output.
To do this, order and install a CDS-14-x cable at the DAQ-Sync connectors (P2) between the boards to be
synchronized.
The "x" in the CDS-14-x part number specifies the number of connectors available on the cable, and therefore,
the number of boards you can interconnect. Using a CDS-14-2, you can connect two PCI-DAS6000 series
boards together for I/O synchronization. Using a CDS-14-3, you can synchronize three boards, and so on. You
can connect up to five PCI-DAS6000 series boards.
By default, all DAQ-Sync connectors are configured as inputs (slave mode). In order to be useful, one board
must be set through software to serve as the master, and the signal sources of the slave boards must be defined.
A CDS-14-3 cable is shown in Figure 3 on page 16.
