Routing AO Sample Clock to an Output Terminal
You can route AO Sample Clock to any output PFI terminal. AO Sample Clock is active high
by default.
AO Sample Clock Timebase Signal
The AO Sample Clock Timebase signal is divided down to provide a source for AO Sample
Clock. AO Sample Clock Timebase can be generated from external or internal sources, and is
not available as an output from the controller.
Delta-Sigma Modules
The oversample clock is used as the AO Sample Clock Timebase. The cRIO controller
supplies 10 MHz, 12.8 MHz, and 13.1072 MHz timebases. When delta-sigma modules with
different oversample clock frequencies are used in an analog output task, the AO Sample
Clock Timebase can use any of the available frequencies; by default, the fastest available is
used. The update rate of all modules in the task is an integer divisor of the frequency of the
AO Sample Clock Timebase.
Note DSA modules do not support HWTSP mode.
AO Start Trigger Signal
Use the AO Start Trigger signal to initiate a waveform generation. If you do not use triggers,
you can begin a generation with a software command. If you are using an internal sample
clock, you can specify a delay from the start trigger to the first sample. For more information,
refer to the NI-DAQmx Help.
