2. Slave NI 5665 3.6 GHz VSA

Interconnecting the Modules

This section describes how to interconnect the master NI 5665 modules and how to connect

the slave NI 5665 modules to the master NI 5665 modules.

Note

 

This module configuration frequency-locks to the NI 5653 100 MHz onboard

Reference Clock by daisy chaining the 100 MHz Reference Clock to slave digitizer
modules. To frequency-lock to the PXI backplane, the NI 5653 requires an OCXO-
quality timebase source present on the PXI backplane.
For the best long-term phase stability over temperature, use the PXI backplane as the
Reference Clock source, but override the native PXI chassis backplane clock with an
OCXO-quality timebase that meets the requirements listed in the 

NI PXIe-5665

Specifications

. The NI 5665 cannot lock to the native PXI chassis backplane clock,

and attempting to do so without overriding it with an OCXO timebase results in
phase-locked loop (PLL) lock errors. The NI PXIe-6674T Timing and Multichassis
Synchronization module is an option for synchronizing multiple digitizer clocks.
The NI 6674T 10 MHz clock can be driven onto the PXI backplane when placed in
the chassis System Timing Slot, also known as the Star Trigger Controller Slot. You
can also connect the output of the NI 6674T 10 MHz clock to the 10 MHz BNC IN
terminal on the back of the PXI chassis from any PXI chassis slot using an SMA-to-
BNC cable.
