STARTSCAN Signal
Any PFI pin can externally input the STARTSCAN signal, which is 
available as an output on the PFI7/STARTSCAN pin. Refer to 
Figures 4-8 and 4-9 for the relationship of STARTSCAN to the DAQ 
sequence.
As an input, the STARTSCAN signal is configured in the 
edge-detection mode. You can select any PFI pin as the source for 
STARTSCAN and configure the polarity selection for either rising or 
falling edge. The selected edge of the STARTSCAN signal initiates a 
scan. The sample interval counter starts if you select internally 
triggered CONVERT*. 
As an output, the STARTSCAN signal reflects the actual start pulse that 
initiates a scan. This is true even if the starts are being externally 
triggered by another PFI. You have two output options. The first is an 
active high pulse with a pulse width of 25 to 50 ns, which indicates the 
start of the scan. The second action is an active high pulse that 
terminates at the start of the last conversion in the scan, which indicates 
a scan in progress. STARTSCAN will be deasserted t
off
 after the last 
conversion in the scan is initiated. This output is set to tri-state at 
startup.
Figures 4-16 and 4-17 show the input and output timing requirements 
for the STARTSCAN signal.
