The filter setting for each input can be configured independently. On power
up, the filters are disabled. Figure 10-3 shows an example of a low-to-high
transition on an input that has its filter set to 125 ns (N = 5).

Enabling filters introduces jitter on the input signal. For the 125 ns and
6.425 µs filter settings, the jitter is up to 25 ns. On the 2.55 ms setting, the
jitter is up to 10.025 µs.
When a PFI input is routed directly to RTSI, or a RTSI input is routed
directly to PFI, the M Series device does not use the filtered version of the
input signal.
Refer to the KnowledgeBase document, Digital Filtering with M Series
and CompactDAQ, for more information about digital filters and counters.
