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.
The digital filters on the NI 660x devices are not enabled by default.
Note
For more information about using the digital filters on your device, refer to
the NI-DAQmx Help.
Power-On State
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 NI 660x devices
when the lines pulled up or down are used as outputs.
I/O Connector Pinout
Figure 3-2 shows the pinout of the NI 6601. Figure 3-3 shows the pinout of
the NI 6602/6608. The descriptions beside each pin are in the following
format: Signal Name / DIO Context / Counter Context (Default).
