Chapter 3 Hardware Overview
Figure 3-4 summarizes the routing features of the NI PXI-6683 Series. The remainder of this
chapter details the capabilities and constraints of the routing architecture.
Figure 3-4. High-Level Schematic of NI PXI-6683 Signal Routing Architecture
Note The NI PXI-6683H architecture is identical to the architecture described in
Figure 3-4, except that it doesn’t have the PXI_STAR trigger lines, CLKIN, or
PXI_CLK10_IN.
Determining Sources and Destinations
All signal routing operations can be characterized by a source (input) and a destination. In
addition, synchronous routing operations must also define a third signal known as the
synchronization clock. Refer to the Choosing the Type of Routing section for more information
on synchronous versus asynchronous routing.
Table 3-6 summarizes the sources and destinations of the NI PXI-6683 Series. The destinations
are listed in the horizontal heading row, and the sources are listed in the column at the far left.
