Chassis Overview

System Reference Clock

The PXIS-2690P supplies a 10 MHz system reference clock signal
(PXI_CLK10) to every peripheral slot independently. An indepen-
dent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane
and a skew of less than 1 ns between slots) drives the clock signal
to each peripheral slot. You can use this common reference clock
signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or con-
trol system, or drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source through
the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the star trigger slot.
You can select the internal or external clock by setting jumpers
JP2 and JP3 in the backplane rear. Refer to the jumper settings
below.
