Issue Details

I am using a PXI or PXIe system with multiple clock sources and I am unsure which clock source the PXI_Clk10 or PXIe_Clk100 is pointing at. How do I find which clock my chassis is using for a reference clock?

Solution

This property is exposed through the NI System Configuration API in the System Config -> System Hardware -> Devices & Chassis -> Bus Specific class as "PXI Clk10 Source".
