Routing a Signal to Counter n Source
Each counter has independent input selectors for the Counter n Source
signal. Any of the following signals can be routed to the Counter n Source
input:
• 100 MHz Timebase
•20MHz Timebase
• 100 kHz Timebase
•RTSI<0..7>
• PFI <0..15>
•PXI_CLK10
•PXI_STAR
• PXIe-DSTAR<A,B>
• Analog Comparison Event
• Change Detection Event
In addition, TC or Gate from a counter can be routed to a different counter
source.
Some of these options may not be available in some driver software.
Routing Counter n Source to an Output Terminal
You can route Counter n Source out to any PFI <0..15>, RTSI <0..7>, or
PXIe-DSTARC terminal. All PFIs are set to high-impedance at startup.
