How to export square wave using HSDIO

Hi there,

 

I have successfully exported the sample clock and the reference clock out and viewed it on my oscilloscope. What i saw was a continuous SINE wave. Will it be possible to get square wave out from the refernce clock or sample clock?

 

The reason why I need to do that is because I am trying to generate a 10Mhz square wave. I had tried using generation with scripting to generate the square wave but the highest it can generate is 1.6Mhz, anything above that, system will give an error.

 

Therefore, I managed to achieved the 10Mhz wave but it's in SINE wave. So will it be possible to get it in square wave?

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi Keith -

 

The clock outputs of the HSDIO devices are square waves.  How are you instrumenting the clocks?
