Connecting PFI Input Signals

All PFI input connections are referenced to D GND. Figure 7-3 shows this
reference, and how to connect an external PFI 0 source and an external
PFI 2 source to two PFI terminals.

PFI Filters

You can enable a programmable debouncing filter on each PFI signal.
When the filters are enabled, your device samples the input on each rising
edge of a filter clock. USB-621x devices use an onboard oscillator to
generate the filter clock with a 40 MHz frequency.

Note

NI-DAQmx only supports filters on counter inputs.

The following is an example of low to high transitions of the input signal.
High to low transitions work similarly.
