In order to calculate the actual input voltage from the digital "code" provided by the DAQ-16,
the user must know the configuration used to acquire the data. Given this information, the
input voltage can be calculated using the equations below:
Unipolar, binary
Bipolar, binary
Unipolar, 2's complement
Bipolar, 2's complement
