Triggering DAQ6510 from SMU2450

Hello,<br> <br> I recently got a new and shiny SMU 2450 and would like it to trigger 2 different DAQ6510 when the source is turned on.<br> I was wondering what would be the most elegant and stable method to achieve this? <ul> <li>I am communicating with all devices vis USB, so USB is not an option (because this goes to the PC)</li> <li>It seems, DAQ6510's LAN port is turned off when USB is connected, so this can not be used as a &quot;trigger in&quot; simultaneously?</li> <li>DAQ6510 is without any accessory cards, so I understand TSP Link is not an option?</li> <li>I could solder together a cable from the &quot;Digital-IO&quot; Port of 2450 to &quot;Ext Trigger IN&quot; of 6510 surely, but I was hoping this could be achieved without &quot;custom&quot; wires and cables.</li> <li>Should I get the accessory&#160;card KTTI-TSP or is this unneccessary in my case?</li> </ul> <br> Sorry for the rather unspecific question,<br> Thank you very much,<br> beste regards,<br> Markus<br> <br> <br> <br> &#160;

You are correct that if you are using a communication port (USB) to use software, you will not be able to use the LAN port for triggering.<br> The best method for triggering, in this case, would be to purchase the TSP-LINK accessory and use either TSP-LINK or the Digital I/O.<br> If this isn't available, you could use a Digital I/O line from your 2450 to send a trigger to signal.<br> I have not tried this operation, however, so there may be some nuances to ensuring a spliced cable will send the appropriate signal to the trigger input.<br> Ultimately, I would recommend purchasing the accessory for the most straight forward method of triggering.

Thank You very much for the fast response.<br> After reading a bit about TSP-Link, I think it makes sense to get the accessory.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> best regards,<br> Markus
