The DAQ signals are explained in the

DAQ Timing Connections

section

later in this chapter. The

Waveform Generation Timing Connections

section

later in this chapter explains the waveform generation signals, and the

General-Purpose Timing Signal Connections

section later in this chapter

explains the general-purpose timing signals.

All digital timing connections are referenced to DGND. This reference is
demonstrated in Figure 4-11, which shows how to connect an external
TRIG1 source and an external STARTSCAN source to two PFI pins on the
NI 6115/6120.
