TClk Specifications
National Instruments TClk synchronization method and the NI-TClk driver
are used to align the sample clocks on any number of SMC-based modules
in a chassis. For more information about TClk synchronization, refer to the
NI-TClk Synchronization Help, which is located within the NI High-Speed
Digitizers Help.
• Specifications are valid for any number of modules installed in one
NI PXI-1042 chassis.
• All parameters set to identical values for each SMC-based module.
• Sample Clock set to 200 MS/s and all filters are disabled.
• For other configurations, including multichassis systems, contact
NI Technical Support at
ni.com/support.
Note Although you can use NI-TClk to synchronize nonidentical modules, these
specifications apply only to synchronizing identical modules.
