Digital I/O Channels
—Each of these terminals
can be individually configured as a PFI terminal or
a digital I/O terminal.
As an input, each PFI terminal can be used to
supply an external source for AI, AO, DI, and
DO timing signals or counter/timer inputs.
As a PFI output, you can route many different
internal AI, AO, DI, or DO timing signals to each
PFI terminal. You also can route the counter/timer
outputs to each PFI terminal.
As a Port 2 digital I/O signal, you can individually
configure each signal as an input or output.
Refer to the
Connecting Digital I/O Signals
section of Chapter 6,
, to find the
default NI-DAQmx counter/timer pins for most
M Series devices.
