RTSI Triggers

The seven RTSI trigger lines on the RTSI bus provide a very flexible

interconnection scheme for the 611X E board sharing the RTSI bus.

These bidirectional lines can drive any of eight timing signals onto the

RTSI bus and can receive any of these timing signals. This signal

connection scheme is shown in Figure3-12.

Figure 3-12. RTSI Bus Signal Connection

Refer to the Timing Connections section of Chapter4, Signal

Connections, for a description of the signals shown in Figure3-12.
