for the gate to take effect at that source edge, as shown by t

in Figure 4-32. The gate signal is not required to be held after the active 
edge of the source signal.
If you use an internal timebase clock, the gate signal cannot be 
synchronized with the clock. In this case, gates applied close to a source 
edge take effect either on that source edge or on the next one. This 
arrangement results in an uncertainty of one source clock period with 
respect to unsynchronized gating sources.
The OUT output timing parameters are referenced to the signal at the 
SOURCE input or to one of the internally generated clock signals on the 
611X E board. Figure 4-32 shows the OUT signal referenced to the 
rising edge of a source signal. Any OUT signal state changes occur 
within 80 ns after the rising or falling edge of the source signal.
FREQ_OUT Signal
This signal is available only as an output on the FREQ_OUT pin. The 
frequency generator for the 611X E board outputs the FREQ_OUT pin. 
The frequency generator is a 4-bit counter that can divide its input clock 
by the numbers 1 through 16. The input clock of the frequency 
generator is software-selectable from the internal 10 MHz and 100 kHz 
timebases. The output polarity is software selectable. This output is set 
to tri-state at startup.
Field Wiring Considerations
Environmental noise can seriously affect the accuracy of measurements 
made with the 611X E board if you do not take proper care when 
running signal wires between signal sources and the board. The 
following recommendations apply mainly to analog input signal routing 
to the board, although they also apply to signal routing in general.
Minimize noise pickup and maximize measurement accuracy by taking 
the following precautions:
Use differential analog input connections to reject common-mode 
noise.
Use individually shielded, twisted-pair wires to connect analog 
input signals to the board. With this type of wire, the signals 
attached to the ACH+ and ACH– inputs are twisted together and 
then covered with a shield. You then connect this shield only at one
