You can frequency lock to an external reference clock source of 1 MHz and
from 5–20 MHz in 1 MHz increments. The PLL can lock to a signal level
of at least 1 V
pk-pk
.
Caution
Do not increase the voltage level of the clock signal at the PLL reference input
connector by more than the specified limit, 5 V

.
Note
If two or more NI 5401 devices are locked to each other using the same reference
clock, they are frequency locked, but the phase relationship is indeterminate.
