PXIe DSA board sample clocks synchronization

[Aleter]

Hi, i've got a PXIe-1073 Chassis equipped with a DSA-4463 Analog Output, and a DSA-4464 Analog Input. 

I want to use the same sample clock for both the acquisition and the generation of the signal. 

But on the  DAQmx Timing Vi on the sample clock source i can't find the Clk10 source, and the only clock source that seems to work it's the onboard clock. I don't know what to do, i need that both board use the same clock for some measure i have to do. What can i try ?

I Use Labview 2015 64Bit Edition.

Thanks in Advice

Have you already seen this KB?

Please note that you can set the reference clock by property node.

Hi, thanks for the response. I've already tried with property node but nothing seems to change. I can't find on the sample clock source the PXI_CLK10, so i can't syncronize the two DSA board. The other method also doesent' work because i've got two 446x series board wich doesn't support PXI star trigger lines.

Please review the example "Analog Input - Synchronization". It contains the code you are looking for.

[Aleter]

I've already tried that example, but it doesent' work, the error says that PXI_Clk10 it's not a valid clock source.

[Norbert_B]

Both the devices (PXIe-4463 and PXIe-4464) only accept the PXIe_CLK100 as reference clock. The PXIe_CLK10 would indeed not work.

[Aleter]

Okk i've tried the example with  PXIe_CLK100 as reference clock. It gives me an error it says that it's not an acceptable clock source.

Is it possibile that the problem is on the LabView 64 bit edition ?

This should definitely be NOT connected to 64bit.

Are you sure that you set the reference clock?

[Aleter]

Yes, i'm sure.... I've set the reference clock on my code and on the example. Nothing change, that clock don't appear on the menù of the clock source and if i try to use it it gives me an error.

You have to right click the constant and select I/O Name Filtering. Activate "Include Advanced Terminals".

Now the Clk100 should be available.
