Page 17: Functional Details
Functional Details Basic architecture Figure 4 on page 19 is a simplified block diagram of the PCI-DAS6034, PCI-DAS6035, and PCI-DAS6036. These boards provide all of the functional elements shown in the figure. The System Timing and Control (STC) is the logical center for all DAQ, DIO, and DAC (if applicable) operations. -
Page 18: Daq-Sync Signals
The DAQ-Sync hardware provides the capability of triggering or clocking up to four slave boards from a master board to synchronize data input and/or output. The PCI-DAS6034, PCI-DAS6035, and PCI-DAS6036 boards provide the capability of inter-board synchronization between boards in the PCI-DAS6000 family. There are five trigger/strobes and a synchronizing clock provided on a 14-pin header. - Page 19 SYNC CLK is the 40 MHz time base used to derive all board timing and control. The master provides this clock to the slave boards so that all boards in the DAQ-sync- enabled system are timed from the same clock. Figure 4. Block diagram – PCI-DAS6034, PCI-DAS6035, and PCI-DAS6036...
