M Series User Manual
All PFI input connections are referenced to D GND. Figure 8-2 shows this
reference, and how to connect an external PFI 0 source and an external
PFI 2 source to two PFI terminals.

You can enable a programmable debouncing filter on each PFI, RTSI, or
PXI_STAR signal. When the filters are enabled, your device samples the
input on each rising edge of a filter clock. M Series devices use an onboard
oscillator to generate the filter clock with a 40 MHz frequency.
The following is an example of low to high transitions of the input signal.
High to low transitions work similarly.
