This example program illustrates how to cleanly configure more than two M Series data acquisition devices to acquire either a continuous or a finite number of samples in a scalable fashion. The code implements one master device and a variable number of slave devices. Thus, it is easily expandable for situations where three or more DAQ devices are required. In addition, a shared timebase and start trigger are used to synchronize the devices. Thus, all devices are synchronized to acquired to within one period of the sampling rate on all channels.

Works with the following hardware: PXI-6284, PXI-6281, PCI-6220, PCI-6221, PCI-6221 (37-Pin), PCI-6222, PCI-6224, PCI-6225, PCI-6229, PCI-6230, PCI-6232, PCI-6233, PCI-6236, PCI-6238, PCI-6239, PCI-6250, PCI-6251, PCI-6254, PCI-6255, PCI-6259, PCI-6280, PCI-6281, PCI-6284, PCI-6289, PCIe-6251, PCIe-6259, PXI-6220, PXI-6221, PXI-6230, PXI-6224, PXI-6225, PXI-6229, PXI-6250, PXI-6251, PXI-6254, PXI-6255, PXI-6259, PXI-6280, PXI-6289
