  • Page 18: System Reference Clock

    Bridge #1 Bridge #2 System Reference Clock The NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis supplies PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 independently driven to each peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives PXI_CLK10 to each slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system.
  • Page 19 Chapter 1 Getting Started on this pin, the backplane automatically phase-locks the PXI_CLK10, PXIe_CLK100, and PXIe_SYNC100 signals to this external clock and distributes these signals to the slots. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for the specification information for an external clock provided on the PXI_CLK10_IN pin of the system timing slot.

  • Page 20: Pxie_Sync_Ctrl

    NI PXIe-1085 Series User Manual PXIe_SYNC_CTRL PXIe_SYNC100 is by default a 10 ns pulse synchronous to PXI_CLK10. The frequency of PXIe_SYNC100 is 10/n MHz, where n is a positive integer. The default for n is 1, giving PXIe_SYNC100 a 100 ns period. However, the backplane allows n to be programmed to other integers.

  • Page 21: Installation And Configuration

    Installation and Configuration This chapter describes how to prepare and operate the NI PXIe-1085 Series chassis. Before connecting the chassis to a power source, read this chapter and the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility document included with your kit.
