Using an Internal Source

To use DO Sample Clock with an internal source, specify the signal source

and the polarity of the signal. The source can be any of the following

signals:

• AI Sample Clock (ai/SampleClock)

• AI Convert Clock (ai/ConvertClock)

• AO Sample Clock (ao/SampleClock)

• Counter n Internal Output

•Frequency Output

• DI Change Detection Output

Several other internal signals can be routed to DO Sample Clock through

RTSI. R efer to Device Routing in MAX in the NI-DAQmx Help or the

LabVIEW Help in version 8.0 or later for more information.

Using an External Source

You can route any of the following signals as DO Sample Clock:

• PFI <0..15>

•RTSI <0..7>

•PXI_STAR

• Analog Comparison Event (an analog trigger)

You can generate samples on the rising or falling edge of DO Sample

Clock.

You must ensure that the time between two active edges of DO Sample

Clock is not too short. If the time is too short, the DO waveform generation

FIFO is not able to read the next sample fast enough. The DAQ device

reports an overrun error to the host software.

Routing DO Sample Clock to an Output Terminal

You can route DO Sample Clock out to any PFI terminal. The PFI circuitry

inverts the polarity of DO Sample Clock before driving the PFI terminal.
