Master Clock Distribution in MCA
One master clock source can be selected for one MCA module, and
the selected master clock is distributed to all the units, and is
used by AWGs and digitizers. Each unit has its own timing
generator, so a different sampling rate (Fs) can be set for each
unit.

For details of the relationship between the sampling rate (Fs) and
the master clock period in each AWG or digitizer, see the manual,
System Reference.
Lesson 1 – Analog Modules
One Master Clock (MCLK) source
in the selected clock domain
• Sampling period (1/Fs) is a multiple of MCLK period
• Different Fs in each unit allowed:
MCLK-to-Fs frequency divider (N) in each unit
• One MCLK source for 8 units
