Chapter 6 Digital I/O
Digital Waveform Acquisition
Figure 6-2 summarizes all of the timing options provided by the digital input timing engine.
Figure 6-2. Digital Input Timing Options
You can acquire digital waveforms on the Port 0 DIO lines. The DI waveform acquisition FIFO
stores the digital samples. X Series devices have a DMA controller dedicated to moving data
from the DI waveform acquisition FIFO to system memory. The DAQ device samples the DIO
lines on each rising or falling edge of a clock signal, DI Sample Clock.
You can configure each DIO line to be an output, a static input, or a digital waveform acquisition
input.
X Series devices feature the following digital input timing signals:
•
DI Sample Clock Signal
*
•
DI Sample Clock Timebase Signal
• DI Start Trigger Signal
*
•
DI Reference Trigger Signal
*
•
DI Pause Trigger Signal
*

PFI Filters section of Chapter 8, PFI, for
more information.
DI Sample Clock Signal
The device uses the DI Sample Clock (di/SampleClock) signal to sample the Port 0 terminals
and store the result in the DI waveform acquisition FIFO.
You can specify an internal or external source for DI Sample Clock. You can also specify
whether the measurement sample begins on the rising edge or falling edge of DI Sample Clock.
