AFI[1]. Note that the AFI[1] is a multi-purpose input, and it can
only be utilized for one function at any one time. AFI[1] cur-
rently only has one function. ADLINK reserves it for future
development.

System Synchronization Interface

SSI (System Synchronization Interface) provides the DAQ timing
syn-chronization between multiple cards. In DAQ/PXI-20XX
series, we de-signed a bi-directional SSI I/O to provide flexible
connection between cards and allow one SSI master to output the
signal and up to three slaves to receive the SSI signal. Note that
the SSI signals are designed for card synchronization only, not for
external devices.

SSI timing signal

Functionality

SSI_TIMEBASE

SSI master: send the TIMEBASE out

SSI slave: accept the SSI_TIMEBASE to

replace the internal TIMEBASE signal.

Note: Affects on both A/D and D/A opera-

tions

SSI_AD_TRIG

SSI master: send the internal AD_TRIG out
SSI slave: accept the SSI_AD_TRIG as the

digital trigger signal.

SSI_ADCONV

SSI master: send the ADCONV out

SSI slave: accept the SSI_ADCONV to

replace the internal ADCONV signal.

SSI_SCAN_START

SSI master: send the SCAN_START out

SSI slave: accept the SSI_SCAN_START to

replace the internal SCAN_START signal.

SSI_DA_TRIG

SSI master: send the DA_TRIG out.

SSI slave: accept the SSI_DA_TRIG as the

digital trigger signal.

SSI_DAWR

SSI master: send the DAWR out.

SSI slave: accept the SSI_DAWR to replace

the internal DAWR signal.
