Introduction
The PXIe-6674 timing and synchronization module enables you to share clocks and triggers
between modules in a PXI Express chassis and other PXI chassis or non-PXI systems. This is
done without using the system timing slot in your PXI Express chassis. The PXIe-6674
module generates and routes clock signals between devices in multiples chassis, providing a
method for synchronizing multiple devices in a PXI Express system.
What You Need to Get Started
To set up and use the PXIe-6674, you need the following items:
•
PXIe-6674 Timing and Synchronization Module
•
PXIe-6674 User Manual
•
NI-Sync software.
•
One of the following software packages and documentation:
-
LabVIEW
-
LabWindows
-
Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC)
•
PXI EMC filler panels, National Instruments part number 778700-01
•
PXI Express chassis
•
