All digital timing connections are referenced to DGND. This reference

is demonstrated in Figure 4-10, which shows how to connect an external
TRIG1 source and an external CONVERT* source to two of the
VXI-MIO Series module PFI pins.

Timing I/O Connections

Programmable Function Input Connections

There are a total of 13 internal timing signals that you can externally

control from the PFI pins. The source for each of these signals is
software-selectable from any of the PFIs when you want external
control. This flexible routing scheme reduces the need to change the
physical wiring to the module I/O connector for different applications
requiring alternative wiring.

You can individually enable each of the PFI pins to output a specific

internal timing signal. For example, if you need the CONVERT* signal
as an output on the I/O connector, your software can turn on the output

TRIG1
