operating mode using MAX as described in Chapter 1,
After parallel mode has been configured in software, you can scan the
SCXI-1125 channels by entering the corresponding E Series DAQ device
channels or a sequential SCXI channel string in the
channel
parameter in
the analog input application. You can also enter virtual channels; however,
in parallel mode, virtual channels containing CJC are disabled in MAX.
C and Parallel Mode
When using a C-based ADE, you need no special steps for configuring the
chassis, the SCXI-1125, or the E Series DAQ device for parallel scanning.
You still have to configure the gain and filter settings by using
SCXI_Set_Gain
and
SCXI_Configure_Filter
. You can use any of the
E Series DAQ device analog input functions to get the data from the eight
channels of the SCXI module. After scanning, convert the binary data to
voltage data by using
SCXI_Scale.
Refer to the
Traditional NI-DAQ
User Manual
for additional information about parallel scanning of SCXI
modules.
Other Application Documentation and Material
Refer to the ADE manual and the DAQ analog input examples that
come with your application software for more detailed information about
programming the SCXI modules for scanning in multiplexed mode.
