Retrigger mode
Retrigger mode lets you set up repetitive analog input or output trigger events. The trigger is automatically re-
armed after it is activated. Use software to set the A/D or D/A trigger count (the number of samples you want
per trigger).
Counter input
The
CTR0
and
CTR1
terminals are 32-bit event counters that can accept frequency inputs up to 20 MHz. The
internal counter increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high.
Timer output
The
TMR
terminal is a pulse width modulation (PWM) timer output that can generate a pulse output with a
programmable frequency in the range of 0.0149 Hz to 32 MHz. The timer output parameters are software
selectable. Figure 8 shows the timer output schematic.

Power output
The
+5V
terminal can output up to 10 mA maximum. You can use this terminal to supply power to external
devices or circuitry.
Caution!
The
+5V
terminal is an output. Do not connect to an external power supply or you may damage the
device and possibly the computer.
Ground
The analog ground (
AGND
) terminals provide a common ground for all analog channels.
The digital ground (
GND
) terminals provide a common ground for the digital, counter, timer, and clock
channels and the power terminal.
