The AI Convert Clock Timebase (ai/ConvertClockTimebase) signal is
divided down to provide on of the possible sources for ai/ConvertClock.
Use one of the following signals as the source of
ai/ConvertClockTimebase:
• ai/SampleClockTimebase
• 20 MHz Timebase
ai/ConvertClockTimebase is not available as an output on the I/O
connector.
The AI Hold Complete Event (ai/HoldCompleteEvent) signal generates a
pulse after each A/D conversion begins. You can route
ai/HoldCompleteEvent out to any output PFI <6..9> or RTSI <0..7>
terminal.
The polarity of ai/HoldCompleteEvent is software-selectable, but is
typically configured so that a low-to-high leading edge can clock external
AI multiplexers indicating when the input signal has been sampled and can
be removed.
