The DAQ-STC2 implements a high-performance digital engine for
M Series data acquisition hardware. Some key features of this engine
include the following:
•
Flexible AI and AO sample and convert timing
•
Many triggering modes
•
Independent AI, AO, and CTR FIFOs
•
Generation and routing of internal and external timing signals
•
Two flexible 32-bit counter/timer modules with hardware gating
•
Static DI, DO, and DIO signals
•
USB Hi-Speed 2.0 interface
•
Up to four USB Signal Streams for acquisition and generation
functions
The USB-621x analog inputs and outputs have calibration circuitry to
correct gain and offset errors. You can calibrate the device to minimize
AI and AO errors caused by time and temperature drift at run time.
No external circuitry is necessary; an internal reference ensures high
accuracy and stability over time and temperature changes.
