Scxi 1200 AOs togheter with other AI modules

Question

Is it possible to use the analog output and the trigger of the 1200
module simultaneously with the analog inputs of the 1125 amplifiers (or
other similar modules)?
Thanks.

Hi Bipin,
Looking at your code, I see that you are still using Traditional DAQ. Since you have LV 7.1, you can take advantage of the new features of DAQmx.
With DAQmx, you can create a virtual task that includes all of the different types of measurements you want to make. Once you set up the task in MAX, you can place it on the block diagram and automatically generate the code necessary to execute this.
To do this, open up the Measurement and Automation Exlporer (MAX). Select "Data Neighborhood" from the tree on the left. Then click the button labeled "Create New." Create a DAQmx Virtual Channel. Follow the series of menus to set up your first type of acquisition (1126 frequency measurement). When you are
done creating the task, you can add the second type of measurement to that same task. In the task config page, you will see a white box with the name of the channel you just created in it. Above the name you will see an "Add" button. Click on this button and follow the menus to set up your second measurement (1102 module).
Once they are set up, save the task and open LabVIEW. Place the DAQmx Task Name constant on your block diagram found in All Functions >> Data Acquisition >> DAQmx... the task name constant is a purple colored box. Clicking on the box once its on the block diagram will expand a menu that will let you choose your task. Once selected, right click on the task name and choose Generate Code >> Example. This will automatically generate the code necessary to run the tasks. Simply hit the run button and enjoy!
Thanks,
