Using RTSI Terminals as Timing Input Signals
You can use RTSI terminals to route external timing signals to many
different S Series functions. Each RTSI terminal can be routed to any of the
following signals:
•
AI Convert Clock (ai/ConvertClock)
•
AI Sample Clock (ai/SampleClock)
•
AI Start Trigger (ai/StartTrigger)
•
AI Reference Trigger (ai/ReferenceTrigger)
•
AI Sample Clock Timebase (ai/SampleClockTimebase)
•
AO Start Trigger (ao/StartTrigger)
•
AO Sample Clock (ao/SampleClock)
•
AO Sample Clock Timebase (ao/SampleClockTimebase)
•
AO Pause Trigger (ao/PauseTrigger)
•
Counter input signals for either counter—Source, Gate, Aux,
HW_Arm, A, B, or Z
•
DI Sample Clock (di/SampleClock)
•
DO Sample Clock (do/SampleClock)
Most functions allow you to configure the polarity of PFI inputs and
whether the input is edge or level sensitive.
RTSI Filters
You can enable a programmable debouncing filter on each PFI, RTSI, or
PXI_STAR signal. When the filters are enabled, your device samples the
input on each rising edge of a filter clock. S Series devices use an onboard
oscillator to generate the filter clock with a 40 MHz frequency.
Note
NI-DAQmx
only
supports filters on counter inputs.
