PFI
NI 621x devices have up to eight input and eight output Programmable
Function Interface (PFI) signals, which also can be used as static digital
input or static digital output signals.
Each input PFI can be individually configured as the following:
• A static digital input
• A timing input signal for AI, AO, or counter/timer functions
Each output PFI can be individually configured as the following:
• A static digital output
• A timing output signal from AI, AO, or counter/timer functions
Each PFI input also has a programmable debouncing filter. Figure 10-1
shows the circuitry of an input PFI line.
