Triggering
You can externally trigger the NI 5620 through the digital line, PFI1. You
can also use software to trigger it. Figure 2-5 shows the different trigger
sources. The digital triggers are TTL-level signals with a minimum
pulse-width requirement of 100 ns or 16 ns times the DDC decimation.

Calibration
Although the NI 5620 is factory calibrated, it needs periodic calibration to
verify that it is still within the specified accuracy. For more information on
