Many of these timing signals are also available as outputs on the PFI pins.
Note
The Master Timebase signal can only be accepted as an external signal over RTSI.
For more information on the Master Timebase signal, refer to the
. Refer to the
section of Chapter 8,
Real-Time System Integration Bus (RTSI)
, for information on routing this signal.
Connecting Timing Signals
Caution
Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings listed in the specifications for your
device can damage your device and the computer. NI is
not
liable for any damage resulting
from signal connections that exceed the maximum ratings.
The 10 programmable function interface (PFI) pins labeled PFI <0..9>
route all external control over the timing of the device. These lines serve as
connections to virtually all internal timing signals. These PFIs are
bidirectional. As outputs they are not programmable and reflect the state of
many waveform generation and counter timing signals. There are five other
dedicated outputs for the remainder of the timing signals. As inputs, the PFI
signals are programmable and can control all timing signals.
All digital timing connections are referenced to D GND. Figure 7-2 shows
this reference, and how to connect an external PFI 0 source and an external
PFI 2 source to two PFI pins.
