You individually configure the filter setting for each PFI line. The filters are
useful to maintain signal integrity. They can prevent measurement errors
caused by noise, crosstalk, or transmission line effects.
For more information about using the digital filters on your device, refer to
the NI-DAQmx Help.
The PFI lines are weakly pulled down within the NI-TIO ASIC, and the
RTSI lines are weakly pulled high. Connections for pulling up the PFI lines
or for stronger pull-down connections must be made external to the
NI 660x. These connections affect the drive strength of the NI 660x when
the lines pulled up or down are used as outputs.
Table 3-2 lists the pin assignments for the I/O connector on the NI 660x.
