Page 16: Programming And Developing Applications
Programming and Developing Applications After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready for use. In general there may be no correspondence among registers for different boards. Software written at the register-level for other models does not function correctly with your board. Programming languages Measurement Computing’s Universal Library provides access to board functions from a variety of Windows programming languages. -
Page 17: Functional Details
Functional Details Analog input resolution and range The 16-bit A/D converter provides a resolution of 1/65,536 parts of full scale. The smallest reading of full scale (1 part in 65,536) is called a Least Significant Bit (LSB). Four different bipolar ranges are controlled by software: The input range is controlled by a programmable-gain amplifier. -

After a conversion is made, the sample is stored in a 4096-word (sample) FIFO buffer from which it may be retrieved one sample at a time or in blocks via REP-INSW transfers. How does the FIFO size and design affect throughput? The 4096-sample FIFO buffer stores samples from the A/D converter as they are being converted. -
