3 x PCI boards together

Post by The_Viking »

Hi.
I am currently using two boards togehter in my PC system. Would it be possible to use 3 or more boards together in the same system? I have several boards available.

You can use 3 x PCI boards in one system. They need to connected with those cables which you sound like you already have if you have 2 cards installed.

I heard some people tried 4 cards in same setup but they had issues if I recall correctly.

I also have 3 x Scope Pro boards in my system

Thank you!
I try this setup. Cables I do have.

I also have this ADAT sync card. Do you know if this is suitable to give a stable clock signal to sync every card and my ADAT HD24 gear all together?

3 cards work fine. I once tried up to 5, but there seems to be some limit in software, as it didn't work.

Thank you for that :-)

Any experience with using this ADAT sync card?

Not sure, what kind of ADAT sync card you own. If you're using ADAT and set scope to slave, it will be locked to your ADDA.
There are also devices with discrete sync-clock-inputs, but I don't have experience with that.
