Digital I/O
The 671X devices contain one 8-bit digital I/O port supplied by the
DAQ-STC chip. This port is referred to as port 0 by the Digital I/O
functions.
You can configure the entire digital port as either an input or an output port,
or you can configure individual lines for either input or output. The port has
read-back capability. This port operates in nonlatched mode only.
Note
Connecting a non-remote SCXI chassis to a 671X device renders lines 0, 1, 2, and 4
of the digital I/O port unavailable.
The remaining lines of the digital I/O port are available for input or output. Use
DIG_Line_Config to configure these remaining lines.

Counter/Timer Operation
The 671X devices use the National Instruments DAQ-STC counter/timer
chip. The DAQ-STC has two 24-bit counter/timers that are always
available for general-purpose counter/timer applications. Refer to the
GPCTR functions in the NI-DAQ Function Reference Online Help for more
information.

Programmable Frequency Output Operation
The 671X devices have one I/O connector pin (FREQ_OUT) capable of
outputting a programmable frequency signal. This signal is a divided-down
version of the selected timebase. Available timebases are 10 MHz
and 100 kHz, and you can divide them by numbers 1 through 16.

PFI Pins
You can route internal device signals to and from the I/O connector
programmatically by using the PFI pins on the 671X devices. Refer to your
671X device user manual for a complete discussion of PFI pins.
