Digitization Mode
.
•
For
Multiplexed
mode, select an index number from the Multichassis Daisy-Chain Index
drop-down listbox.
•
For
Parallel
mode, select a range of channels from the Digitizer Channel drop-down listbox.
If the cabled device only has one connector, the range of channels is selected automatically.
Note
Some M Series devices have two connectors. You must select the range of channels that
corresponds to the connector cabled to the module. Channels 0–7 correspond to connector 0.
Channels 16–23 correspond to connector 1.
Caution
If you remove a chassis from a daisy chain, reassign the index values for modules in other
chassis. Reassigning values maintains consistency and prevents addressing removed chassis.

recommends that you correct the source of the warning first.
