Analog Output Triggering Signals
Analog output supports two different triggering actions: AO Start Trigger and AO Pause
Trigger.
An analog or digital trigger can initiate these actions. Up to two C Series parallel digital input
modules can be used in any controller slot to supply a digital trigger. An analog trigger can be
supplied by some C Series analog modules.
Refer to the
and
sections for more information
about the analog output trigger signals.
Analog Output Timing Signals
The cDAQ controller features the following AO (waveform generation) timing signals:
•
•
AO Sample Clock Timebase Signal
•
•
Signals with an * support digital filtering. Refer to the
section of Chapter 4,
, for more information.
AO Sample Clock Signal
The AO sample clock (ao/SampleClock) signals when all the analog output channels in the task
update. AO Sample Clock can be generated from external or internal sources as shown in
Figure 3-1.
