Input Requirements
Refer to the Figure B-41 for the M Series counter/timer circuitry.
Source Period and Pulse Width
Figure B-46 and Table B-30 show the timing requirements for Counter n
Source. The requirements depend on the synchronization mode.

The times in this table are measured at the pin of the M Series device. For example, t
5
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.
