Use PCI-6602 Counters from different threads

Hello,

I have read that DaqMX is thread safe. So is it possible to use several Counters form the PCI-6602 form different threads at the same time?

Thanks

Hi Farmer,

the DAQ driver is thread safe, that means, that the driver manages the data flow to your application and no data gets lost in case of simultaneously tasks in an multichannel acquisition for example. So the mechanism of how to deploy the data from different channels in your application threads will be managed by the driver.

It's possible to create parallel threads where an data aquisition with different channels is running. The new DAQmx driver is a multithreaded driver, it improves the performance and programming simultaneously is much easier.

Have a look on the following link for further information to that,
