PXI_CLK 10 with the NI PXI-6608

NI-DAQmx Device Considerations

PXI_CLK 10 with the NI PXI-6608

When NI-DAQmx detects that an NI PXI-6608 is installed in slot 2, NI-DAQmx automatically overrides PXI_CLK10 with a more stable oven-controlled oscillator (OCXO) when NI-DAQmx loads. If you switch between Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) and NI-DAQmx, both drivers continue to override the PXI_CLK10 with the OCXO.

Refer to the NI PXI-6608 documentation for more information about the stability of the OCXO.

Note  For the automatic override to occur in NI-DAQmx, you must put the NI PXI-6608 in slot 2. For more information about configuring your PXI chassis, refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for PXI.
