Using multiple PCI-2517s per PC

PCI-2517 features can be replicated up to four times, as up to four boards can be installed in a single host PC.
The serial number on each PCI-2517 distinguishes one from another. You can operate multiple PCI-2517
boards synchronously. To do this, set up one PCI-2517 with the pacer pin you want to use (XAPCR or XDPCR)
configured for output. Set up the PCI-2517 boards you want to synchronize to this board with the pacer pin you
want to use (XAPCR or XDPCR) configured for input. Wire the pacer pin configured for output to each of the
pacer input pins that you want to synchronize.
