Introduction
The PXIe-6674 timing and synchronization module enables you to share clocks and triggers
between modules in a PXI Express chassis and other PXI chassis or non-PXI systems. This is
done without using the system timing slot in your PXI Express chassis. The PXIe-6674
module generates and routes clock signals between devices in multiples chassis, providing a
method for synchronizing multiple devices in a PXI Express system.
