Analog Input Timing Signals
In order to provide all of the timing functionality described throughout this
section, the DAQ-STC provides an extremely powerful and flexible timing
engine. Figure 2-15 summarizes all of the clock routing and timing options
provided by the analog input timing engine.

E Series devices use the ai/SampleClock and ai/ConvertClock signals to
perform interval sampling. As Figure 2-16 shows, ai/SampleClock controls
the sample period, which is determined by the following equation:
1/sample period = sample rate
