a
Can be accomplished in two stages by routing source to PXI_CLK10_IN, replacing PXI_CLK10 with PXI_CLK10_IN
(occurs automatically in most chassis), and then routing PXI_CLK10 to the destination. The source must be 10 MHz.
b
Asynchronous routes between a single source and multiple destinations are very low skew. See Appendix A, Specifications,
for details.
I/O Considerations
Using the Ethernet Port
The NI PXI-6682 provides one standard RJ-45 connection for
Ethernet communication. This port auto negotiates to the best possible
speed—10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The Ethernet port is auto-MDI capable,
which means crossover cabling is not necessary when connecting the
NI PXI-6682 to another network card. The NI PXI-6682 senses whether a
crossed connection is needed and performs the action internally. The
Ethernet port also allows for full duplex operation, so traffic can be sent and
received at the same time.
