DT9837A with Matlab - Daisy chaining more than two devices

[NicolasJ]

Hi there,

I am successfully using matlab to drive two DT9837a cards, following the procedure (master / slave + connect cards via RJ45 cable), getting the signals, plotting processing, it works smoothly.

Now, for a specific experiment, 8 channels might not suffice, and it would help to have 12 simultaneous Analog Input channels ... what if I want to use three DT9837A simultaneously ?

With kind regards,

Nicolas

Hello @NicolasJ.

Since you have code working for your two DT9837A modules in MATLAB, then a few minor code changes and a wiring reconfiguration should do it. 

 

 

The EP386 RJ45 panel is no longer available at Digilent.  However, a possible alternative could be the following 3rd party product.
