PCI-DAS6031 & PCI-DAS6033 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. Each system can have one master and up to four slaves.
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. A CDS-14-3 cable is shown in
By default, all DAQ-Sync connectors are configured as inputs (slave mode). In order to be useful, use software
to configure one board as the master and to define the signal sources of the slave boards. Refer to
signals
on page 4-2 for more information.
