Digital Routing and Clock
Generation
The digital routing circuitry has the following 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 X 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 X Series device.
