PFI
USB-621x devices have multiple Programmable Function Interface (PFI)
signals.
Each input PFI can be individually configured as the following:
• A static digital input
• A timing input signal for AI, AO, or counter/timer functions
Each output PFI can be individually configured as the following:
• A static digital output
• A timing output signal from AI, AO, or counter/timer functions
Note (USB-6212/6216 Devices) PFI signals on USB-6212/6216 devices can be configured
as input or output.
Each PFI input also has a programmable debouncing filter. Figure 7-1
shows the circuitry of an input PFI line.
