Sample Clock
Sample Clock signals the start of a sample (which, in turn, is a set of converts). Sample Clock is
generated from external or internal sources. The main internal source is the terminal count (TC)
of the SI counter that runs on the Sample Clock Timebase signal. All the sources for Sample
Clock are at the _i level and are selected using a multiplexer. The output of this multiplexer is
called Selected Sample Clock.
