Synchronization
The following steps are required for any type of synchronization involving an SMC-based
device, including NI-TClk synchronization.
Note
If you plan to share triggers and/or clocks for the purpose of synchronizing
SMC-based devices, you must identify or configure certain components in MAX.
PXI Modules
You must identify the PXI system controller by completing the following steps:

MXI controller in an external PC.
PXI Express Modules
Your device should automatically be configured for synchronization. If your device is not
automatically configured, contact NI Technical Support at
PCI Devices
You must configure the RTSI cable by completing the following steps:
