Clock signals and the cDAQ chassis.
AI Sample Clock Signal
A sample consists of one reading from each channel in the AI task. Sample Clock signals the
start of a sample of all analog input channels in the task. Sample Clock can be generated from
external or internal sources as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1.
AI Sample Clock Timing Options
Routing the Sample Clock to an Output Terminal
You can route Sample Clock to any output PFI terminal. Sample Clock is an active high pulse
by default.
AI Sample Clock Timebase Signal
The AI Sample Clock Timebase signal is divided down to provide a source for Sample Clock.
AI Sample Clock Timebase can be generated from external or internal sources. AI Sample Clock
Timebase is not available as an output from the chassis.
