1 FREQ OUT PFI 14/P2.6 E Series devices drive each of these terminals with one
particular internal timing signal.
M Series devices can drive each terminal with the same
signal as on E Series devices. On M Series devices, you
also can route many other internal timing signals to each
terminal.
On M Series devices, you also can use these terminals as
additional PFI inputs to drive internal timing signals.
On M Series devices, you also can use these terminals as
digital I/O signals.
