The RTSI connector provides up to eight triggers and one PXI star trigger
(PXI-7350 only) to facilitate synchronization between multiple
RTSI-enabled National Instruments products. Typical applications of the
RTSI bus include triggering an image acquisition or DAQ measurement
based on motion events, or capturing current motion positions based on
events external to the motion controller. You also can use the RTSI bus
forgeneral hardware-based communication between RTSI devices.
