Howdy Folks,
I am trying to understand the update rate for the PXIe-6738. The online documentation provides different update rates depending on how many channels are in use, and in a footnote, it states:
"All analog output channels are grouped into banks, as shown in your device pinout. Each bank consists of four AO channels using one DAC. Any channels being used within a single bank will update simultaneously."
I am trying to determine if the PXIe-6738 is capable of simultaneously updating 32 distinct outputs. I am skeptical of the statement that any channels within a single bank will update simultaneously because the block diagram from the user manual (below) shows a single DAC associated with each bank of four channels. Does anyone know if the PXIe-6738 is actually capable of simultaneously updating 32 distinct outputs? Or is it effectively limited to simultaneously updating 8 outputs? Any clarity or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks folks.
