  • Page 60: Specifying One Or More Analog Input Channels

    Chapter 5 Specifying One or More Analog Input Channels You can read data from one or more analog input channels using an analog input channel list and continuous scan mode. Using software, specify the channels you want to sample. You can enter up to six entries in the channel list for this module.

  • Page 61: External A/D Sample Clock

    Principles of Operation Note: According to sampling theory (Nyquist Theorem), specify a frequency that is at least twice as fast as the input’s highest frequency component. For example, to accurately sample a 2 kHz signal, specify a sampling frequency of at least 4 kHz. Doing so avoids an error condition called aliasing, in which high frequency input components erroneously appear as lower frequencies after sampling.

  • Page 62: Single-Value Operations

    Chapter 5 Single-Value Operations Single-value operations are the simplest to use. Using software, you specify the range, gain, and analog input channel. The module acquires the data from the specified channel and returns the data immediately. For a single-value operation, you cannot specify a clock source, trigger source, scan mode, or buffer.

  • Page 63: Input Triggers

    Principles of Operation Input Triggers A trigger is an event that occurs based on a specified set of conditions. Acquisition starts when the module detects the initial trigger event and stops when either no more buffers are available or you stop the operation.
