Synchronization

You can use the compact synchronization interface cable (part number 769693-01) to share a
Reference Clock and triggers between the PCIe-5785 and another PCI Express FlexRIO
device. You also can use the compact synchronization interface to RTSI adapter (part number
147008A-01L) to synchronize the PCIe-5785 with a PCI Express device that supports
synchronization using RTSI.
