Re: Digital Sidecar Connection Issue

I'm not an expert on this, but I'd suspect that the 40MHz signals from the backplane are too distorted by the cable to make the DIO module function in all of its modes. I've seen people use extender boards to get a proto board into the chasis, but never a 5 ft cable. As mentioned, if you can try it without the cable, with the digital breakout mounted upside down, or with a cable on the slow side of the DIO, it will confirm whether this is the issue.
