d.

Call niSync Close VI to close the handle.

Measuring the Frequency

Complete the following procedure to measure the frequency of the onboard 
clock source.

1.

Connect the 

ClkOut

 terminal to the PFI 0 terminal by using an 

SMB-to-SMB cable.

2.

Complete steps a–d to program the board to connect the onboard 
oscillator to ClkOut. Be sure to use the high-gain setting for clock out.

a.

Call niSync Initialize VI to set up a handle for the device.

b.

Set a writable NI-Sync property node to pass TRUE to the 

ClkOut 

Gain Enable 

attribute.
