Configuring an Internal Sample Clock
You can use the internal (onboard) sample clock to control the clocking rates of your signal generator. In arbitrary waveform or arbitrary sequence mode, you can choose a clock mode that allows you to configure the rate at which this sample clock runs.
Note The onboard clock is
the default sample clock source. If you have not changed the settings for your
sample clock source, you do not need to perform this task.
- Call the niFgen Configure Sample Clock Source VI with Source set to Onboard Clock or call the niFgen_ConfigureSampleClockSource function with the sampleClockSource parameter set to OnboardClock.
- If your application is using arbitrary waveform or arbitrary sequence output mode, call the niFgen Configure Clock Mode VI with Clock Mode set to the clock mode required for your application or call the niFgen_ConfigureClockMode function with the clockMode parameter set to the clock mode required for your application.

The internal sample clock timebase is used to determine clocking rates. In arbitrary waveform mode, you can control this timebase by using high-resolution mode in the PXIe-5433.
