RTSI and PXI Bus TriggersThe seven RTSI lines on the RTSI bus provide a very flexible
interconnection scheme for any device sharing the RTSI or PXI-trigger bus.
Anycontrol signal on the device can connect to a RTSI or PXI-trigger bus
line. You can drive output control signals onto the bus and receive input
control signals from the bus. FigureD-6 shows the signal connection
scheme.
Note If you configure a signal to be received from the RTSIbus, do not attach it to an
external source. Also, do not configure the 653Xdevice to generate that signal internally.
