Chapter 4 Connecting Signals

The DAQ signals are explained in the DAQ Timing Connections section
later in this chapter. The Waveform Generation Timing Connections section
later in this chapter explains the waveform generation signals, and the
General-Purpose Timing Signal Connections section later in this chapter
explains the general-purpose timing signals.
All digital timing connections are referenced to DGND. This reference is
demonstrated in Figure 4-11, which shows how to connect an external
TRIG1 source and an external STARTSCAN source to two PFI pins on the
NI 6115/6120.
