Request Timing
Internal Requests
Figure5-2 shows internal request timing. You can select a timebase and
an interval. The request pulses low once per data transfer. The duration
of the low pulse is equal to one timebase. The period of the request
pulse is equal to the interval multiplied by the timebase (in LabVIEW,
you specify an overall period, and the software selects the interval and
timebase).
Figure 5-2.
Internal Request Timing
External Requests
Figure5-3 shows external request timing. The request signal must pulse
low and return high. The request pulse low and high durations must be
at least 20ns each. The minimum period is 50ns.
