I recently inherited a project in my lab group which had been inactive for over two years that requires synchronizing a PCIe-1433 frame grabber and a PCIe-6353 DAQ device. I plan on doing so by using the PCIe-1433 as the master clock and connecting them with an RTSI cable.
When I started, both of these cards were already installed on the computer and I can see from archived purchasing orders that an RTSI cable for 2 cards had been ordered. However, I'm not sure if the cable was installed with the cards. In NI MAX, I can see the cards and get functionality from them, but I do not see a device for the RTSI cable. Additionally, there is a third device that I don't recognize. It appears as ASRL10::INSTR "LPT1" and NI MAX says that it was unable to open a VISA session for it.
Is there a way to check if the RTSI cable is installed and connecting the two cards without unscrewing my computer's tower?
