• Data format and transfer, described on
• Error conditions, described on
Analog Input Channels
The DT9837 Series modules support four, single-ended analog input channels (numbered 0 to
3). All analog input channels are simultaneously clocked. If desired, you can connect IEPE
sensors to these inputs; refer to
Note: To maintain simultaneous operation, all analog input connections must have the same
lead lengths.
The DT9837 Series modules use Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that provide
anti-aliasing filters based on the clock rate. These filters remove aliasing, which is a condition
where high frequency input components erroneously appear as lower frequencies after
sampling.
DT9837 Series modules can acquire a single value from a single analog input channel, a single
value from all the analog input channels simultaneously, or multiple values from a group of
analog input channels. You can also read data from the following channels if supported by
your module:
• Tachometer counter 0 – Supported on the DT9837, DT9837A, DT9837A-OEM, and
• Tachometer counter 1 – Supported on the DT9837A, DT9837A-OEM, and DT9837B
• Gate counter 2 – Supported on the DT9837A-OEM and DT9837B modules
• Analog output readback channel – Supported on the DT9837A module
