The DAQ signals are explained in the
section
later in this chapter. The
Waveform Generation Timing Connections
section
later in this chapter explains the waveform generation signals, and the
General-Purpose Timing Signal Connections
section later in this chapter
explains the general-purpose timing signals.
All digital timing connections are referenced to DGND. This reference is
demonstrated in Figure 4-11, which shows how to connect an external
TRIG1 source and an external STARTSCAN source to two PFI pins on the
NI 6115/6120.
