• Frequency Output

• RTSI <0..7>

• DI Sample Clock* (di/SampleClock)
• DO Sample Clock* (do/SampleClock)
Note Signals with a * are inverted before being driven to a terminal; that is, these
signals are active low.

Using PFI Terminals as Static Digital I/Os

Each PFI can be individually configured as a static digital input or a static digital output. When
a terminal is used as a static digital input or output, it is called P1.x or P2.x. On the I/O connector,
each terminal is labeled PFI
In addition, M Series devices have up to 32 lines of bidirectional DIO signals.

Connecting PFI Input Signals

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.
