The filter setting for each input can be configured independently. On power
up, the filters are disabled. Figure 10-4 shows an example of a low to high
transition on an input that has its filter set to 125 ns (N = 5).
Figure 10-4. Filter Example
Enabling filters introduces jitter on the input signal. For the 125 ns and
6.425 µs filter settings, the jitter is up to 25 ns. On the 2.55 ms setting, the
jitter is up to 10.025 µs.
When a PFI input is routed directly to RTSI, or a RTSI input is routed
directly to PFI, the M Series device does not use the filtered version of the
input signal.
Refer to the KnowledgeBase document, Digital Filtering with M Series, for
more information about digital filters and counters. To access this
KnowledgeBase, go to
ni.com/info and enter the info code rddfms.
