TRIG/CLK PORT A(B) Direction
W7—Trigger Card CLK10 Dir
This jumper allows you to configure the direction of CLK10 through the 
TRIG/CLK PORT A(B).
In Slot 0 operation with jumpers W4 set for an external source and W3 
set for the front panel TRIG/CLK PORT A(B) set this jumper to In, as 
shown in Figure C-7a, to route CLK10 in from another NI VXI-8360T 
to the VXI backplane. In non-slot 0 operation the In setting has no 
effect.
In Slot 0 and non-Slot 0 operation setting this jumper to Out
as shown in Figure C-7b, routes the VXIbus CLK10 out of the 
TRIG/CLK PORT A(B).

Optional CLK10 Settings
Inverting CLK10
If the front panel SMB connector EXT CLK is configured as an output this 
software setting provides the capability to invert the clock output. This 
setting can be found in the hardware configuration panels in MAX as 
shown in Figure C-8.
Set this jumper to OUT to route CLK10
out of the TRIG/CLK PORT.
Set this jumper to IN when the NI VXI-8360T
is in Slot 0 and W3 and W4 are configured to
select the TRIG/CLK PORT as the external
CLK10 source. Otherwise leave W7 set to IN
for other W3 and W4 combinations.
