GPCTR1_OUT Signal Timing

GPCTR1_UP_DOWN Signal

This signal can be externally input on the DIO7 pin and is not available

as an output on the I/O connector. General-purpose counter 1 counts

down when this pin is at a logic low and counts up at a logic high. This

input can be disabled so that software can control the up-down

functionality and leave the DIO7 pin free for general use. Figure 4-35

shows the timing requirements for the GATE and SOURCE input

signals and the timing specifications for the OUT output signals of your

VXI-MIO Series module.
