Operations

The three internal timing signals can be routed to the PXI trigger

bus through software drivers. Physically, signal routing is accom-
plished in the FPGA, with cards connected together through the
PXI trigger bus achieving synchronization on the three timing sig-
nals, as follows.

3.6.1

SSI_TIMEBASE

As output, the SSI_TIMEBASE signal transmits the onboard ADC

timebase through the PXI trigger bus. As input, the PXIe-9529
accepts the SSI_TIMEBASE signal as the source of the timebase.

3.6.2

SSI_SYNC_START

Before a SSI master issues SSI_TRIG to other SSI slaves,
SSI_SYNC_START is first asserted by the master card, synchro-
nizing all on-chip ADCs in both SSI Master and SSI Slave mod-
ules.

3.6.3

SSI_TRIG

As output, the SSI_TRIG signal reflects the trigger event signal in

an acquisition sequence. As input, the PXIe-9529 accepts the
SSI_TRIG signal as the trigger event source. The signal is config-
ured in the rising edge-detection mode, with minimum pulse width
8ns.

NOTE:

NOTE:

Different signals cannot be routed onto the same trigger bus
line.
