UPDATE* Input Signal Timing
Figure 4-29.
UPDATE* Output Signal Timing
The DACs are updated within 100 ns of the leading edge. Separate the
UPDATE* pulses with enough time that new data can be written to the
DAC latches.
The AT E Series board UI counter normally generates the UPDATE*
signal unless you select some external source. The UI counter is started
by the WFTRIG signal and can be stopped by software or the internal
Buffer Counter.
D/A conversions generated by either an internal or external UPDATE*
signal do not occur when gated by the software command register gate.
