When using any signal other than the onboard clock as the source of your sample clock, the
generation resumes as soon as the pause trigger is deasserted and another edge of the sample
clock is received, as shown in Figure 2-11.

DO Pause Trigger with Other Signal Sources
Using a Digital Pause Trigger
To use DO Pause Trigger, specify a source and a polarity. You can route many signals to
DO Pause Trigger. To view the complete list of possible routes, see the
Device Routes
tab in
MAX. Refer to
Device Routing in MAX
in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW Help
for more
information.
Routing DO Pause Trigger Signal to an Output Terminal
DO Pause Trigger can be routed out to any PXI_Trig <0..7>, PFI <0..39>, or PXIe-DSTARC
terminal.
I/O Protection
Each DIO and PFI signal has limited protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, and
overcurrent conditions as well as ESD events. Avoid these fault conditions by following these
guidelines:
•
When configuring a PFI or DIO line as an output, do not connect it to any external signal
source, ground, or power supply.
•
When configuring a PFI or DIO line as an output, understand the current requirements of
the load connected to these signals. Do not exceed the specified current output limits of the
DAQ device. NI has several signal conditioning solutions for digital applications requiring
high current drive.
•
When configuring a PFI or DIO line as an input, do not drive the line with voltages outside
of its normal operating range.
•
Treat the DAQ device as you would treat any static sensitive device. Always properly
ground yourself and the equipment when handling the DAQ device or connecting to it.
