Device and PXI Clocks
Many functions performed by the NI PXI-4204 require a frequency
timebase to generate the necessary timing signals for controlling
A/D conversions, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) updates, or
general-purpose signals at the I/O connector.
The NI PXI-4204 can use either its internal 20 MHz master timebase or a
timebase received over the PXI trigger bus on the PXI clock line. This
timebase is software configurable. If you configure the device to use the
internal timebase, you can program the device to drive its internal timebase
over the PXI trigger bus to another device programmed to receive this
timebase signal. This clock source, whether local or from the PXI trigger
bus, is used directly by the device as the primary frequency source. The
default configuration is to use the internal timebase without driving the PXI
trigger bus timebase signal. The NI PXI-4204 can use the PXI_Trig 7 line
to synchronize
Master
Timebase
with other devices.
For the NI PXI-4204, PXI Trig<0..5> and PXI Star connect through the
NI PXI-4204 backplane. The PXI Star Trigger line allows the NI PXI-4204
to receive triggers from any Star Trigger controller plugged into slot 2 of
the chassis. The NI PXI-4204 can only receive signals on the PXI Star
Trigger line. For more information about the Star Trigger, refer to the
PXI
Hardware Specification, Revision 2.1
and
PXI Software Specification,
Revision 2.1
