3.7 System Reference Clock

The PXIS-2700 supplies the PXI 10MHz system clock signal (PXI_CLK10)
independently to every peripheral slot. An independent buffer (having a
source impedance matched to the backplane and a skew of less than 1ns
between slots) drives the clock signal to each peripheral slot. Users can
use this common reference clock signal to synchronize multiple modules
in a measurement or control system or drive PXI_CLK10 from an external
source through the PXI_CLK10_IN pin on the P2 connector of the star
trigger slot.

Select the internal or external clock by setting the jumper JP1 in the back
of the backplane.
