In PCI, you can access all seven RTSI lines (RTSI<0..6>) through their
RTSI cable. With the NI PXI-6115/6120, RTSI<0..5> connects to PXI
Trigger <0..5>, respectively, through the NI PXI-6115/6120 backplane.
In PXI, RTSI<6> connects to the PXI Star Trigger line, allowing the
NI 6115/6120 to receive triggers from any Star Trigger controller plugged
into slot 2 of the chassis. For more information on the Star Trigger, refer to
the PXI Specification Revision 2.0.
