The NI 9230 derives its sample rate from the internal master timebase.

Table 56. NI 9230 internal master timebase and sample rate
Internal master timebase 13.1072 MHz
Maximum sample rate when using the internal master timebase 12.8 kS/s (13.1072 MHz/(128×8))

When the module uses the internal master timebase, it can not be sourced to different model types for synchronization.

When synchronizing multiple modules, the maximum sample rate of the slave module depends on the frequency of the master module's internal master timebase. The maximum sample rate of the system is the lowest sample rate of all the modules being synchronized.

The following table lists the NI 9230 maximum sample rate when it is configured to use the master timebase source.
