The remainder of this chapter describes how these signals are used,
acquired, and generated by the NI PXI-6682 hardware, and explains
how you can use the signals between various locations to synchronize
events in your system.
Clock and Event Generation
The NI PXI-6682 can generate two types of clock signals. The first type is
generated with a precise 10 MHz oscillator, and the second is generated
with the synchronized timebase. The following sections describe the two
types of clock generation and explain the considerations for choosing either
type. In addition to time-synchronized clock signals, the NI PXI-6682 is
also capable of generating arbitrary digital events, to be used as triggers.
PXI_CLK10 and TCXO
The NI PXI-6682 features a precision 10 MHz TCXO. The frequency
accuracy and stability of this clock is greater than the frequency accuracy
and stability of the native 10 MHz PXI backplane clock (PXI_CLK10).
The main source of error in most frequency reference oscillators is
temperature variation. The TCXO contains circuitry to measure the
temperature of the oscillator. It uses the temperature to adjust its frequency
output according to the crystal’s known frequency variation across its
operating temperature range.
An NI PXI-6682 module in Slot 2 of a PXI chassis can replace the native
PXI 10 MHz backplane frequency reference clock (PXI_CLK10) with the
more stable and accurate output of the TCXO. All other PXI modules in the
chassis that reference the 10 MHz backplane clock benefit from this
improved reference. The TCXO does not automatically replace the native
10 MHz clock; this feature must be explicitly enabled in software. The
TCXO output also can be routed out to the
CLKOUT
connector.
Note
The 10 MHz TCXO signal is freerunning. It is not disciplined to the board’s time
reference.
Time-Synchronized Clock and Event Generation
The NI PXI-6682 is capable of generating clock signals and triggers based
on the synchronized time base. The NI PXI-6682 keeps an internal time
base with 10 ns resolution that can be synchronized to GPS, IRIG-B, PPS,
IEEE 1588, or freerunning. The NI Sync API allows you to schedule
