The NI 9252 derives its sample rate from the internal master timebase.

Table 86. NI 9252 internal master timebase and sample rate
Internal master timebase 12.8 MHz
Maximum sample rate when using the internal master timebase 50 kS/s (12.8 MHz/256)

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 9252 maximum sample rate when it is configured to use the master timebase source.
