Appendix B Timing Diagrams
Gate Pulse Width
Figure B-47 and Table B-31 show the timing requirements for Counter n Gate. The requirements
depend on the gating mode.
Figure B-47. Counter n Gate Pulse Width Timing Diagram
Gate to Source Setup and Hold
The counter can be modeled as a set of flip flops where the D input is Count Enable and the clock
input is Selected Source, as shown in Figure B-41. This section shows the setup and hold
requirements for two different cases:
• A PFI pin drives Counter n Source and a different PFI pin drives Counter n Gate
• The general case (all other combinations of signals driving Source and Gate)

The times in this table are measured at the pin of the M Series device. For example, t

specifies the
minimum period of a signal driving a PFI, RTSI, or PXI_STAR pin when that signal is internally routed
to Counter n Source.
