  • Page 29: Data Format

    4.1.2 DA data format The DA data format is a 12-bit unsigned value for all channels, that is, the value is in binary format. The digital value range from 0(0X000) to +4095(0xFFF) corresponds to the full span of the output range, which is set by the jumpers.

  • Page 30: Analog Output Status Register

    4.2 Analog Output Status Register The DAC uses a series bus architecture hence there is a delay in the output of the digital value. The data transfer time for every DA data write takes 16µs, therefore the software driver must wait for 16µs before sending another set of data to any analog output port.
