PLL 5761 to PXI_CLK10

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I want to PLL my 5761 to PXI_CLK10 by setting the Sample Clock Select signal.  I'm using the adapter with a PXIe-7965.

 

The 5761 manual Clocking section leads me to believe I can do this: "Reference Clock, 10 MHz, External through IoModSyncClock".

 

The 5761 Multiple Sample CLIP topic in the FlexRIO Help gives me the value to write, "Sample Clock Select, 3 = Internal Sample Clock locked to an external Reference Clock through IoModSyncClock".

 

And <labview>\examples\FlexRIO\IO Modules\NI 5761\NI 5761 Clock Select\NI 5761 - Clock Select.lvproj shows me how to set the clock source to "Internal Clock PLL On (IoModSyncClk)".

 

I'm missing how to route PXI_CLK10 to IoModSyncClock.

 

There's an explicit note in Table 4 of the 5782 manual that states, "The internal VCO locks to PXI_CLK10 through IoModSyncClock, which is available only through the backplane of NI PXIe-796xR devices", when the clock is set to Internal Clock PLL On (IoModSyncClock).  Perhaps the same applies to the 5761 even though they seem to have different clocking options?

 

I don't want to cable the CLK10_OUT from the chassis to CLK IN on the 5761 (that seems silly). I don't want to use the FlexRIO Instrument Development Library Sync API to PLL to the backplane.

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Steve K

You configure the IOModSyncClock line in the FAM Propties page on the Details Category. By default, the PXICLK10 is automatically routed through the IOModSyncClk line.
