Introduction
The PXIe-6674T timing and synchronization module enables you to share clocks and triggers
between modules in a PXI Express chassis and other PXI chassis or non-PXI systems. The
PXIe-6674T module generates and routes clock signals between devices in multiple chassis,
providing a method for synchronizing multiple devices in a PXI Express system. It also
features a precision OCXO for improving the stability and accuracy of the PXI Express
backplane reference clocks.
Unpacking
The PXIe-6674T is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic damage to the
module. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the module.
