System Reference Clock
The PXIS-2680P supplies the PXI 10MHz system clock signal
(PXI_CLK10) independently to every peripheral slot. An indepen-
dent buffer (having a source impedance matched to the backplane
and a skew of less than 1ns between slots) drives the clock signal
to each peripheral slot. Users can use this common reference
clock signal to synchronize multiple modules in a measurement or
control system or drive PXI_CLK10 from an external source
through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the star
trigger slot. Users can select the internal or external clock by set-
ting the jumper JP2 and JP3 in the back of the backplane.
