Use the following techniques to troubleshoot errors you might encounter while routing clock signals and connecting clock terminals:
Ensure that the source and/or destination terminals you selected are compatible with one another. Refer to Clock Terminal Connections for a list of compatible clock routes.
Ensure that the source and/or destination terminals you selected physically exist on your hardware. Refer to your hardware documentation for specific information on its terminals and connections.
Ensure that the source and/or destination terminals you selected are not already in use by another application. You can do this in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) by selecting your device, opening the Test Panels window, selecting the Measure tab, and clicking Update Line State. Occupied lines are green, unoccupied lines are gray.
Note
The Measure tab is not available on every timing and synchronization module.
If you receive an error code, connect niSync Error Message to return a readable explanation of the error code.
Ensure that the clock terminal you are connecting is valid for the module you are using. For example, only time-based timing and synchronization devices can use the BoardClk terminal.
