Solution
The support for multidevice tasks is a software feature that is not available with all data acquisition devices. The error message that you received will specify which devices are affected by the error. To resolve this issue, you will need to replace the device listed with one that supports multidevice tasks. The product families which support these tasks are:
- C Series modules in the same chassis
- X Series data acquisition modules
- DSA data acquisition module.
- S Series devices
- SC Express data acquisition modules (exception: modules which use the Delta-Sigma ADC, such as the PXIe-4330 or the PXIe-4331)
Note:
DSA and SC Express cards are only capable of multidevice tasks with specific other DSA or SC Express cards. They cannot be put on the same task as an X Series card.
If you are trying to create a DAQmx task with multiple PCI(e) boards you will need to create a DAQmx task for every board. As long as you have a RTSI cable connecting these boards together, you can still do synchronization across boards. Please refer to the
documentation on channel expansion with DAQmx for more in depth information.
