Software triggers sent with niSync Send Software Trigger may not be sent or may be sent non-deterministically if they are requested at a frequency higher than that of the front or rear synchronization clock sources.Software triggers sent with niSync Send Software Trigger may not be sent or may be sent non-deterministically if they are requested at a frequency higher than that of the front or rear synchronization clock sources. Workaround: Designate higher frequency synchronization clock sources with the niSync Property Node or decrease the rate at which you are requesting software triggers. |

The PXI-6682 and PXI-6683 may revert to using the TCXO (because Clk10 is no longer available) without notifying the userThe PXI-6682 and PXI-6683 have a protection mechanism so that if they are running off Clk10 and Clk10 disappears, the card will revert to using the TCXO, and will not hang. However, because there is no notification, users who have configured their board to run off Clk10 might unknowingly have a board running off its own TCXO. Workaround: There is currently no known workaround for this issue. |

If a large time adjustment occurs, any PPS or clock being generated will not be aligned with the new time of the board.Workaround: Monitor for large time adjustments (snaps) and restart clocks each time such an adjustment occurs. You also can use future time events instead of clocks. |
