Hello. I'm attempting to use the NI 6589 Basic Connector Clip. I've had some success using the Strobe input as a clock by setting the IO_Module_Clock_1_Source = 4. Connector CLIP description here:

This tells the crosspoint switch to use the strobe input as the clock. However, I want to use the bypass setting as shown in the users guide (so as not to add any latency into the clock).
If I use the NI 6589 Serdes Channel CLIP it does give me the option to use the bypass setting. However, I lose the ability to get to the LVDS I/O as discretes and they all become SERDES I/O.

So the question is... Is there a way to set the crosspoint settings to Strobe Bypass while still using the Basic Connector CLIP?
For reference I'm inputting a 100MHz clock on the strobe, and using that to clock in synchronous data on one of the LVDS inputs. It is a simple 1:1 clock to bit relationship. If there's a better way to do this please do tell. Thanks again.
