Using PXIe-6674T to Generate a Clock Signal

Solved!
Go to solution

Can I use the PXIe-6674T to generate a clock signal? I don't want any synchronization, just a clock output. I'm limited to what I have in my lab and I need to connect an external clock to a BNC cable on a board. I wish I could use the PXIe-6570, but I would need a breakout box to connect to the BNC port. 


I really just need to be able to set a frequency and output the square wave pattern. It seems like this module is intended for timing and synchronization with the PXI and multiple instruments, but is there a way to maybe only use one clock? I couldn't figure it out using DAQmx or NI-Sync. I am very new to both so maybe I just don't have the experience.

You can generate custom frequencies using DDS on the 6674T, you need to use NI-Sync drivers or you can use the Soft Front Panel from NI MAX.

I don't have any experience using this card and I can't find a lot of resources. I see that I can control DDS, but is the output ClockOut?

Check out the LabVIEW example finder for NI Sync DDS
