NI 9469 Application
In a basic application, a single NI 9469 module is inserted into
each host C Series chassis. One module is set as master, the
remainder as slaves, and all modules are connected with a tree
topology. Figure 2 shows a tree topology example. More
advanced and customizable options create a flexible topological
network of NI 9469 modules. Refer to the
Topologies
section for
examples of various topological networks.
Based on user needs, you may desire certain topologies over
others due to application or timing requirements. Because signals
are physically propagated over cabling, the module cannot
compensate for inherent cable delays and skew. For example, if
all slave modules must receive triggers at the same time with
minimal skew and delay, a star topology with short length-
