Marker Events

A marker is an event that the NI 5670/5671/5672 device generates in relation to a waveform that is generated. The event is configured to occur at the time that a specific location or sample n in the waveform generates on the AWG CH 0 connector. If the waveform loops multiple times in a segment, the marker generates each time the waveform loops. The following figure shows a waveform being generated on the AWG CH 0 connector. The waveform contains a pulse that represents a waveform sample n that is one sample clock in width. The second pulse, the marker event, represents the pulse that generates when the corresponding waveform sample n outputs at the AWG CH 0 connector.

t_m1 represents the delay in time of the marker event generated relative to the configured waveform sample n being generated.

t_m2 represents the marker event pulse width in time.
