I am looking to control an external SPI switch device as part of an aquisition system. The basic state machine is, setup switches -> make reading -> change switches -> make reading... The reading is made by a PXI DAC ADC combo however the switches and signal conditioning are housed in a custom piece of equipment controlled by an NI-8452. There is a connection between the PXI and DAQ to start the aqisition as soon as programming is complete.
I would like to reduce the latency of the state machine as possible. Is it possible to preload a script into the DAQ, for example?
