NI PXI-5404
Routing/Exporting Signals
Many different signals can be routed and exported from the NI PXI-5404. A route is made using niFgen Route Signal Out VI or the niFgen_RouteSignalOut function by specifying the desired source signal or terminal and the desired destination terminal.
The following table lists the signal sources for the NI 5404.
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| NIFGEN_VAL_NONE | Routes nothing to the destination terminal—effectively clears any routes to the terminal |
| NIFGEN_VAL_CLOCK_OUT | CLOCK out signal |
| NIFGEN_VAL_OUT_START_TRIGGER | Start trigger signal |
| NIFGEN_VAL_SOFTWARE_TRIG | Signal generated by niFgen Send Software Edge Trigger VI or niFgen_SendSoftwareEdgeTrigger function |
| NIFGEN_VAL_BOARD_CLOCK | 20 MHz signal derived from the Sample clock timebase |
| NIFGEN_VAL_REF_IN | REF IN connector on the NI 5404 front panel |
| NIFGEN_VAL_PXI_CLK10 | 10 MHz PXI backplane clock |
| NIFGEN_VAL_PXI_STAR | PXI Star trigger line |
| NIFGEN_VAL_PFI_0 | PFI 0 connector on the NI 5404 front panel |
| NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_<0..7> | One of the RTSI/PXI trigger lines |
The following table lists the destination of signals from the NI 5404.
| Destination | Description |
|---|---|
| NIFGEN_VAL_REF_OUT | REF OUT connector on the NI 5404 front panel |
| NIFGEN_VAL_PFI_0 | PFI 0 connector on the NI 5404 front panel |
| NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_<0..7> | One of the RTSI/PXI trigger lines |
