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 2.56 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,
for more information about digital filters and counters. To access this
KnowledgeBase, go to
PXI_CLK10 is a common low-skew 10 MHz reference clock for
synchronization of multiple modules in a PXI measurement or control
system. The PXI backplane is responsible for generating PXI_CLK10
independently to each peripheral slot in a PXI chassis.
A PXI chassis provides eight bused trigger lines to each module in a
system. Triggers may be passed from one module to another, allowing
precisely timed responses to asynchronous external events that are being
monitored or controlled. Triggers can be used to synchronize the operation
of several different PXI peripheral modules.
On M Series devices, the eight PXI trigger signals are synonymous with
RTSI <0..7>.
