Connecting Signals
Note
When using NI-DAQ, SCANCLK polarity is low-to-high and cannot be changed
programmatically.
NI 6115/6120 User Manual
Either the 20 MHz or 100 kHz internal timebase generates SISOURCE
unless you select some external source. Figure 4-22 shows the timing
requirements for SISOURCE.

SCANCLK Signal
SCANCLK is an output-only signal that generates a pulse with the leading
edge occurring approximately 50 to 100 ns after an A/D conversion begins.
The polarity of this output is software selectable but is typically configured
so that a low-to-high leading edge can clock external AI multiplexers
indicating when the input signal has been sampled and can be removed.
This signal has a 450 ns pulse width and is software enabled.
Figure 4-23 shows the timing for SCANCLK.
