DO Sample Clock Signal

The DO Sample Clock signals when all the digital output channels in the task update. DO
Sample Clock can be generated from external or internal sources as shown in the image below.

Routing DO Sample Clock to an Output Terminal
You can route DO Sample Clock to any output PFI terminal. DO Sample Clock is active high
by default.

DO Sample Clock Timebase Signal

The DO Sample Clock Timebase signal is divided down to provide a source for DO Sample
Clock. DO Sample Clock Timebase can be generated from external or internal sources and is
not available as an output from the controller.

DO Start Trigger Signal

Use the DO Start Trigger signal to initiate a waveform generation. If you do not use triggers,
you can begin a generation with a software command. If you are using an internal sample
clock, you can specify a delay from the start trigger to the first sample. For more information,
refer to the NI-DAQmx Help.
Using a Time Source
To use the Start Trigger signal with a time source, configure a specific time in NI-DAQmx.
Refer to the "Timestamps" and "Time Triggering" topics in the NI-DAQmx Help for more
information on accessing time-based features in the NI-DAQmx API.
