Digital Routing and Clock
Generation
The digital routing circuitry has the following three main functions.
•
Manages the flow of data between the bus interface and the
acquisition/generation sub-systems (analog input, analog output,
digital I/O, and the counters). The digital routing circuitry uses FIFOs
(if present) in each sub-system to ensure efficient data movement.
•
Routes timing and control signals. The acquisition/generation
sub-systems use these signals to manage acquisitions and generations.
These signals can come from the following sources.
–
Your M Series device
–
Other devices in your system through RTSI
–
User input through the PFI terminals
–
User input through the PXI_STAR terminal
•
Routes and generates the main clock signals for the M Series device.
