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.

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.
