Timebase System

Timebase Specifications
Model Name PXI-2020/2022
Timebase Source
(1) Internal: onboard 80MHz oscillator
(2) External from hardware IO
Sampling Rate Range
Timebase divided by 32-bit counter.
TIMEBASE(80MHz) divider to the achieve
equivalent sampling rate of DAQ. The equa-
tion is:
Sampling rate = TIMEBASE / ScanIntrv
The value of TIMEBASE depends on the
card type. Take PXI-2022 (250KS/s) as an
example, the ScanIntrv = 320 results in
250KS/s and ScanIntrv = 640 results in
125KS/s, and so on.
Internal Timebase Accuracy <±25ppm (typical)
External Timebase Clock
Sources (External from hardware IO)
(refer to section 4.3 for details)
