FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Does the 60 MHz specification mean the PCI-6601 has a 60 MHz timebase?

No. The internal timebases are 100 kHz and 20 MHz. The 60 MHz figure is the maximum source frequency with prescaling enabled.

Which connection cable does NI recommend for the PCI-6601?

NI's Group 1 counter/timer table lists the shielded SH68-68-D1 as the recommended cable. Use the same guide to select a compatible terminal accessory.
