    Static trigger routing (user-specified line assignments) can be configured through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Dynamic routing of triggers (automatic line assignments) is supported through certain National Instruments drivers like NI-DAQmx. System Reference Clock The PXIe-1073 provides a 10 MHz clock (PXI_CLK10) and 100 MHz clock (PXIe_CLK100) to each peripheral slot.
  • Page 16 Chapter 1 Getting Started An independent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 250 ps between slots) drives PXI_CLK10 to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or control system. An independent buffer drives PXIe_CLK100 to each peripheral slot.
