AO Pause Trigger with Other Signal Source
Using a Digital Source
To
u
se AO Pa
u
se Trigger, specify a so
u
rce and a polarity. The so
u
rce can
be any inp
u
t PFI signal.
The so
u
rce also can be one of several other internal signals on yo
u
r
USB-621
x
device. Refer to
Device Routing in MAX
in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW Help
in version 8.0 or later for more information.
Yo
u
also can specify whether the samples are pa
u
sed when AO Pa
u
se
Trigger is at a logic high or low level.
AO Sample Clock Signal
Use the AO Sample Clock (ao/SampleClock) signal to initiate AO samples.
Each sample
u
pdates the o
u
tp
u
ts of all of the DACs. Yo
u
can specify an
internal or external so
u
rce for AO Sample Clock. Yo
u
also can specify
whether the DAC
u
pdate begins on the rising edge or falling edge of
AO Sample Clock.
Using an Internal Source
One of the following internal signals can drive AO Sample Clock:
•
AO Sample Clock Timebase (divided down)
•
Co
u
nter
n
Internal O
u
tp
u
t
A programmable internal co
u
nter divides down the AO Sample Clock
Timebase signal.
