This example demonstrates how to use NI-Sync, along with a Timing & Synchronization board (PXI-6652 or PXI-6653) to route a clock to the ClkOut terminal. The clock signal's frequency is then mwasured on PFI0. This program confirms that the ClkOut signal is present and that its gain is enabled.

Hardware Needed:

PXI Chassis

PXI-6652 or PXI-6653 Timing & Sync Board

Software Needed:

LabVIEW 8.5.1 or Newer

NI-Sync 3.0 or Newer

External Connections:

An SMB cable must be connected from the ClkOut terminal to the PFI0 terminal.

Steps for Using:

1. Select the Timing & Synchronization board you are using. Make sure that the board is in the timing slot of the PXI chassis (slot 2).

2. Select a Clock Source for export.

4. Select the destination terminal as ClkOut

5. Run the program.

NOTE: Notice that no clock signal is present on PFI0.

6. Press the ClkOut button.

7. The 10 MHz clock is now present on PFI0, confirming its output.
