Figures 4-28 and 4-29 show the input and output timing requirements

for the UPDATE* signal.

Figure 4-28. UPDATE* Input Signal Timing

Figure 4-29. UPDATE* Output Signal Timing

The DACs are updated within 100 ns of the leading edge. Separate the

UPDATE* pulses with enough time that new data can be written to the

DAC latches.

The AT E Series board UI counter normally generates the UPDATE*

signal unless you select some external source. The UI counter is started

by the WFTRIG signal and can be stopped by software or the internal

Buffer Counter.

D/A conversions generated by either an internal or external UPDATE*

signal do not occur when gated by the software command register gate.
