A sample consists of one reading from each channel in the DI task. DI Sample Clock signals the
start of a sample of all digital input channels in the task. DI Sample Clock can be generated from
external or internal sources as shown in Figure 4-1.

Routing DI Sample Clock to an Output Terminal
You can route DI Sample Clock to any output PFI terminal.
DI Sample Clock Timebase Signal
The DI Sample Clock Timebase (di/SampleClockTimebase) signal is divided down to provide
a source for DI Sample Clock. DI Sample Clock Timebase can be generated from external or
internal sources. DI Sample Clock Timebase is not available as an output from the chassis.
Using an Internal Source
To use DI Sample Clock with an internal source, specify the signal source and the polarity of the
signal. Use the following signals as the source:
• AI Sample Clock
• AO Sample Clock
• Counter n Internal Output
• Frequency Output
• DI Change Detection Output
Several other internal signals can be routed to DI Sample Clock. Refer to the Device Routing in
MAX topic in the NI-DAQmx Help or the LabVIEW Help for more information.
Using an External Source
You can route the following signals as DI Sample Clock:
• Any PFI terminal
• Analog Comparison Event (an analog trigger)
You can sample data on the rising or falling edge of DI Sample Clock.
