Digital Routing and Clock
Generation

The digital routing circuitry has the following three 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 M 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 M Series device.
