FPGA clock isn't synced with the PXI #185

Open datid opened 6 years ago

Maybe part of the phase walking etc -

It looks like maybe we should have the Synchronize FPGA clock to PXI_Clk10 checked in the RIO device set up.

Shouldn't be an issue. We don't do anything else with that clock, so we don't need to synchronize this. The phase walking is due to an incorrect number of samples, not synchronization.

PASphase branch addresses this. Sets it to synchronized, but also uses DAQmx to ensure the 6225 card uses PXI_Clk10 as its reference clock.
