Figure 5-8. Ctr1Gate Signal Timing Requirements
The Counter 1 Internal Output (Ctr1InternalOutput) signal is the output of
Counter 1. This signal reflects the terminal count (TC) of Counter 1. The
counter generates a terminal count when its count value rolls over. The
two software-selectable output options are pulse on TC and toggle output
polarity on TC. The output polarity is software-selectable for both options.
Figure 5-9 shows the behavior of the Ctr1InternalOutput signal.
Figure 5-9. Ctr1InternalOutput Signal Behavior
You can use Ctr1InternalOutput in the following applications:
•
In pulse generation mode, the counter drives Ctr1InternalOutput with
the generated pulses. To enable this behavior, software configures the
counter to toggle Ctr1InternalOutput on TC.
•
Ctr1InternalOutput can control the timing of analog output
acquisitions by driving ao/SampleClock.
•
Counter 0 and 1 can be daisy-chained together by routing
Ctr1InternalOutput to Ctr0Gate.
