Using RTSI as Outputs
RTSI <0..7> are bidirectional terminals. As an output, you can drive any of
the following signals to any RTSI terminal:
• ai/StartTrigger
• ai/ReferenceTrigger
• ai/ConvertClock*
• ai/SampleClock
• ai/PauseTrigger
• ao/SampleClock*
• ao/StartTrigger
• ao/PauseTrigger
• 10 MHz Reference Clock
• Counter n Source, Gate, Z, Internal Output
• Change Detection Event
• Analog Comparison Event
• FREQ OUT
• PFI <0..5>
Note Signals with a * are inverted before being driven on the RTSI terminals.
Using RTSI Terminals as Timing Input Signals
You can use RTSI terminals to route external timing signals to many
different M Series functions. Each RTSI terminal can be routed to any of
the following signals:
• AI Convert Clock
• AI Sample Clock
• AI Start Trigger
• AI Reference Trigger
• AI Pause Trigger
• AI Sample Clock Timebase
•AO Start Trigger
• AO Sample Clock
• AO Sample Clock Timebase
• AO Pause Trigger
