RTSI Triggers
The RTSI trigger lines on the RTSI bus provide a flexible interconnection
scheme for any NI 6052E that shares the RTSI bus. The NI PCI-6052E has
seven trigger lines. These bidirectional lines can drive any of eight timing
signals onto the RTSI bus and can receive any of these timing signals.
Figure 3-10 shows the PCI signal connection scheme.
