Operation
Clock Timing
For Input mode, the maximum clock rate is limited by the following factors:
•
sample size
•
data type
•
selected filter for Pre-FIR Samples
Refer to
Table 4-6
for the Input mode parallel and parallel interleaved port configuration clock rates.
Clock Source
The clock signal for the N5102A module is provided in one of three ways through the following selections:
•
Internal: generated internally in the interface module (requires an external reference)
•
External
:
generated externally through the Ext Clock In connector
•
Device
:
generated externally through the Device Interface connector
