SCXI-1125 User Manual
A type of signal conditioning in which you isolate the transducer signals
from the computer for safety purposes. Isolating the signals protects you
and your computer from large voltage spikes and makes sure the
measurements from the DAQ device are not affected by differences in
ground potentials.
Maintenance of constant temperature across an area. Isothermal
construction of terminal blocks increases thermocouple measurement
accuracy.
kelvin
A type of signal conditioning in which software linearizes the voltage levels
from transducers, so the voltages can be scaled to measure physical
phenomena.
