If the Sample Clock is being generated by dividing down the Sample Clock
Timebase, the analog output generation is timed from the output of the
UI counter. The signal Sample Clock Timebase can be an external signal.
When the analog output timing engine operates in this mode, it is assumed
that the source signal for the Sample Clock timebase is a free-running
clock, so the Sync Sample Clock Timebase is the inverted version of
Sample Clock Timebase. Configuring the analog output timing engine for
rising edge operation will cause the external signals to be synchronized on
the falling edge of the Sample Clock Timebase, which corresponds to the
rising edge of Sync Sample Clock Timebase.
