Hi,
You can synchronize the DSA and FPGA modules through the RTSI bus on the PXI backplane. For the PXI modules, the RTSI trigger lines are PXI/TRIG<0..6>. You can configure these lines as either input or output depending on your tasks; the same applies to the DSA board you have.
Please refer to the user manual for PXI-7833R and 4472:
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/6F78006EF62932BD86256FFF006DFD0C (Page 2-15)
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/E7968CA4F4FF9D1686256A57004FFC5E (Page 2-11 and Chapter 3 )
You can either route the sample clock from 4472 to the 7833R or the other way. If using 4472 as the trigger source, you can call the DAQmx Export Signals function to route out the signal.

Hi,
This is the first time we are working in FPGA and DSA. We are using 2 DSA cards 4472 and one FPGA 7833 R. We need information on how to synchronize. >From the technical material we understood that DSA master card will route Over sample clock through PXI star trigger and PXI trigger lines will route the Start trigger from DSA to FPGA card. Is our thinking right?. Also we like to know reasons of why this over sample clock routing is required.
DSA filter delay: - We are thinking of how to account for the DSA filter delay in FPGA acquisition.If anyone can give us more details on this filter lag it would be great.The tacho pulses that we are acquiring with the FPGA needs to account this filter delay for the vibration analysis,so we r just pondering on how to use this delay when we measure the tacho pulse using the FPGA.
