I/O Considerations
Using the Ethernet Port
The NI PXI-6682 Series provides one standard RJ-45 connection for
Ethernet communication. This port auto negotiates to the best possible
speed—10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The Ethernet port is auto-MDI capable,
which means crossover cabling is not necessary when connecting the
NI PXI-6682 Series to another network card. The NI PXI-6682 Series
senses whether a crossed connection is needed and performs the action
internally. The Ethernet port also allows for full duplex operation, so traffic
can be sent and received at the same time.

The NI PXI-6682H does not have a CLKIN connector, PXI_CLK10_IN, or PXI-STAR trigger lines.
†
Can be accomplished in two stages by routing source to PXI_CLK10_IN, replacing PXI_CLK10 with PXI_CLK10_IN
(occurs automatically in most chassis), and then routing PXI_CLK10 to the destination. The source must be 10 MHz.
‡
Asynchronous routes between a single source and multiple destinations are very low skew. See Appendix A, Specifications ,
for details.
