Can I run A/D and D/A cards together? What cards do run together?

In general SBench 6 supports all cards of one family (M2p.59xx, M5i.33xx and so on) that are connected with a star-hub or are single cards. SBench 6 can be started multiple times (multiple software instances) giving one complete SBench 6 window with all sub windows for one set of cards. This is for example necessary when using cards of different mode or family together in one system.

Supported by SB6 at the same time (in the same software window):

• Single digitizerNETBOX or generatorNETBOX
• Single card
• Multiple cards of one family that are connected with star-hub

Supported by SB6 by multiple SB6 instances (multiple software windows):

• Several single cards with no star-hub connection
• Multiple PXIe cards (no star-hub!)
• Multiple sets of cards, each set connected ny star-hub (example: 2 x Digitizer with star-hub, 2 x AWG with star-hub)

Not supported at all:

• Star-Hub when mixing A/D and D/A. Star-Hub only works for cards of same direction. So it is possible to have 2 x A/D with star-hub and 1 x D/A and run one SB6 with 2 x A/D and one SB6 with 1 x D/A

Special setup:

• M2i A/D, M2i D/A and M2i Digital I/O with star-hub mounted on Digital I/O. It is then possible to start SB6 at one time with A/D and Digital I/O input direction and another time with D/A and Digital I/O output direction. But not at the same time.
