acquisition with different pci-cards

[shami81]

Hello guys can you please translate the above discussion in simple english, i mean i dont know what does this RTSI means can you please tell me that. I am using  PCI-4472 and PCI-6025E cards and i need to read data from these cards in the same vi. Please help me about this issue as soon as possible. I will be thankfull to you guys. Moreover tell me the name of the cable also which i will have to use for getting the simultaneous data from two cards.

Hi shami81,



RTSI stands for Real-Time System Integration and it refers
to the method used to synchronize multiple PCI devices. 


1. Buy a RTSI Cable:

2. Connect the RTSI cable between the two PCI boards that
you have

3. Configure the RTSI cable in Measurement &amp; Automation
Explorer (MAX)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. - Open
Measurement &amp; Automation Explorer (MAX)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. -
Right-click on Devices and Interfaces and select Create New..
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. -
Select RTSI cable from the list and then press Finish.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. -
Right-click on the entry for your PCI-4472 under Devices and Interfaces
&gt;&gt; NI-DAQmx Devices and select properties
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. - In
the Device Properties dialog box, select the RTSI cable you just created
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6. -
Repeat these last two steps to select the RTSI cable in the Device Properties
Dialog Box for the PCI-6025e

4. Find a synchronization example:
