Daq Systems, the Modular Concept
Daq equipment and software form a modular, interrelated family of products that provide great flexibility
in data acquisition system design. This flexibility allows for the development of custom systems that are
unique to the user, and which can be optimized for his or her specific application needs. With the Daq
product line, system expansion or redesign can typically be accomplished with relative ease.
•

Primary Acquisition Device. This is the main data acquisition device, e.g., a DaqBook, DaqBoard,or Daq PC-Card. These devices provide a vital data conversion and communications link between
the data source of transducers and signal conditioners and the data processor of the host computer.
Note that a DaqBoard can be one of three types: (1) ISA, (2) PCI, or (3) compact-PCI.

•DBK Option Cards and Modules. Over 35 DBK cards and modules (the number is constantly
growing) provide various types of signal conditioning and system expansion. Note that certain DBK
modules exist for the purpose of supplying power to other members of the acquisition system. The
DBK options are discussed in a DBK Basics document module and in the detailed DBK Option
Cards and User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905). DaqBoard/1000 Series boards do not support DBK
options.
Note: Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, andthe DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with a Daq PC-Cards.
Reference Note:
DBK options are discussed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual(p/n 457-0905). As a part of product support, this manual is automatically loaded onto
your hard drive during software installation. The default location is the Programs
directory, which can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.

•

Software. DaqView out-of-the-box software provides a graphical user interface with easy to readspreadsheet formats for viewing channel data, as well as a choice of analog, digital, and bar-graphmeters. Waveform analysis can be performed, when applicable. A product support option, included
on the data acquisition CD, provides a means of performing post data analysis. More information is
included in the software-specific PDF documents that are installed on your hard-drive as a part ofproduct support.
In addition to the included out-of-the-box software, Daq products can be controlled via user-written
custom programs through Applications Program Interface (API). Several languages are supported,
including C/C++ and VisualBASIC.

Synchronous Input Operations for DaqBoard/1000 and DaqBoard/2000 Series Boards
As indicated in the I/O matrix, applicable DaqBoards allow for synchronous scanning and acquisition of
Analog Input, Digital Input and Counter Input Data at up to 200kHz aggregate scanning rates.
For applicable DaqBoard/2000 Series devices, the Analog Input data can be either directly to the board orfrom expansion analog input modules connected to P1. The Digital Input data can be to the board’s 8-bit
P2 (8255) digital inputs, 16-bit P3 digital inputs or P2 compatible DBK digital input expansion modules.
Refer to the applicable pinouts to see how P1, P2, and P3 relate to the 100-pin P4 connector.
DaqBoard/1000 Series boards do not support DBK options.

Analog Input Channels
The boards that offer analog input (see previous matrix) allow analog input configuration for the board.
For applicable DaqBook/2000 Series boards, analog input can be received from P1 compatible DBK
analog input expansion modules.
Channel Selection and Mode Settings
The main unit accepts up to 16 single ended or up to 8 differential-ended inputs and can be programmed
for single-ended or differential-ended on a per channel basis. In regard to DaqBoard/2000 Series boards,
just one analog channel is sacrificed when a DBK expansion module is enabled. See DBK documentationin the DBK Option Cards & Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905) for further information.
Channel Range and Polarity
DaqBoard/2000 Series board channels can be programmed for either unipolar or bipolar mode with gain
settings of 1,2,4,8,16,32 and 64. DaqBoard/1000 Series boards have the same gains but are only bipolar.
Channel Sampling Interval
The boards allow programmable sampling intervals of 5us or 10us on a per channel basis. This mode
allows some channels which change slowly but a higher degree of accuracy is desirable to be sampled at alonger interval while channels that change more rapidly to be sampled using a shorter interval. Each 5us or
10us interval reduces the maximum aggregate acquisition rate for the entire scan by that amount.

Digital Input Channels
Associated boards allow either synchronous scanning of digital input channels or asynchronous I/O
operations for all configured digital channels.

Counter Input Channels
Associated boards allow synchronous scanning of the 4 16-bit counter input channels. The four 16-bit
counter channels can also be cascaded into two 32-bit counter channels. For either cascaded or
non-cascaded counter channels each channel can be configured for:••Pulse Counting Mode – specifies that each counter should be cleared upon being read and placed into
the input scan.
Totalize Counting Mode – specifies that each counter is to free-run and not be cleared during the input
acquisition.

Synchronous Input Acquisition Clocking
Associated boards allow clocking of the synchronized inputs either by an internal, programmable pacer
clock or by external clocking. These products use a sequencer to implement a multiplexing approach togathering the input data. This means that with either internal or external clocking the entire channel scan(including the sampling time for each channel) may not exceed the maximum aggregate rate of 200kHz.

Daq Systems and Device Overviews

889094

DaqBoard/1000 and /2000 Series User’s ManualSynchronous Output Operations
The DaqBoard/1000 allows synchronous output of any D/A channels available at up to 100kHz for eachchannel. All D/A channels available may have output streamed to them and clocked out synchronously.
The D/A channels may be configured for waveform output.
The DaqBoard/2000 Series boards allow synchronous output of any D/A or P3 16-bit Digital channels
available at up to 100kHz for each channel. All D/A channels available and the 16-bit P3 Digital channel
may have output streamed to them and clocked out synchronously. The D/A channels may be configured
for waveform output and the P3 digital channel may be configured for streamed digital pattern output using
the same clock sources.

Output Channel Configuration
Analog Output Channels
Each D/A channel can be configured for waveform output individually. If the D/A channel is notconfigured for waveform output it then is available for asynchronous output operations.

Digital Pattern Output Channel (DaqBoard/2000 Series Only)
In regard to DaqBook/2000 Series boards, the 16-bit P3 Digital Port can be configured for streamed digitalpattern output. If not configured for streamed digital pattern output operations it then may be used forasynchronous digital I/O operations.

Synchronous Output Clocking
Associated boards allow clocking of the synchronized output by the acquisition clock source, an internal,
programmable pacer clock or by an external clock source. When the clock source generates a new clock
signal all outputs are updated concurrently. Regardless of the clock source, the clock may not exceed the
maximum update rate of 100kHz.

Synchronous Output Data Source
Associated boards allow the data source for synchronized output operations to be that of a memory based
buffer or a file located on a mass storage medium. With either type of output data source, the output data
for all the channels are contained in the buffer and/or file. The file path may be any file located on themachine or network accessible file.

Asynchronous I/O Operations
Associated boards allow asynchronous input of any counter or digital channel that is not currently
configured for synchronous acquisition. The boards also allow for asynchronous output to any D/Achannels not currently configured for waveform output.
In addition, for DaqBoard/2000 Series boards, the 16-bit P3 digital port can be used for both asynchronous
input and output operations if it is not currently configured for streamed pattern output operations. Also,
the timer outputs can be programmed at any time regardless of the current state of synchronous or
asynchronous operations on other channels.

Digital I/O Channels
Local 8255 Channels
The boards [which have digital I/O capabilities] have an implemented Intel 8255 core in the digital I/O
logic. For DaqBoard/2000 Series boards, this is applicable to the P2 port [see pinouts for P2 to P4
relationship]. With the Intel 8255 there are three 8-bit wide ports available for I/O and one 8-bit wide port
for configuration purposes. The configuration port is used to configure the other three 8-bit ports for either
input or output operations.
Local 16-bit P3 Port (DaqBoard/2000 Series only)
For DaqBoard/2000 series devices, the 16-bit P3 Digital Port can be used as either an input, or an output
port. With this port, no configuration is required as the port simply outputs when written to and inputs
when read.
DaqBoard/1000 and /2000 Series User’s Manual

889094

Daq Systems and Device Overviews 1-5

Expansion Digital I/O (DaqBoard/2000 Series only)
The DaqBoard/2000 Series boards that have digital I/O capabilities have the ability to expand thesethrough the P2 port and the connection of applicable digital I/O expansion modules. These modules are
discussed in the DBK Option Cards & Modules User’s Manual. When using the digital I/O expansion
modules the local P2 Intel 8255 digital I/O becomes inaccessible in lieu of the expansion modules. These
expansion modules provide additionally Intel 8255 ports as well as input isolation for applications that
require the expanded capabilities.

Pulse Stream Output Using Timers
The boards allow the generation of output pulses based upon a programmable setting. These output timers
can be set at any time regardless of the state of any synchronous or asynchronous operations which are
currently taking place on other channels.

Analog Output Channels
The boards that have analog output capabilities have the ability to output analog data to any of theavailable (up to four) D/A channels. Each D/A channel may be asynchronously updated by an application
if the D/A channel is not currently being used for waveform output operations.

Counter Input Channels
With exception of DaqBoard/2003, the boards have counter input capabilities and have the ability to readcounter input [if the counter channel is not configured for synchronous acquisition]. As in the case ofsynchronous operations the 4 16-bit counter input channels can be used individually or cascaded into two
32-bit counter channels. For either cascaded or non-cascaded counter channels each channel can be
configured for:•Clear on Read Mode - specifies that each counter should be cleared (reset to 0) upon being read.

•Continuous Totalize Mode – specifies that each counter is to free-run and not be cleared during
the read operation.

DaqBoard/2000 and DaqBoard/2000c are high-speed, multi-function, plug-and-play data acquisitionboards for PCI and compact-PCI bus computers, respectively. They feature a 16-bit, 200-kHz A/D
converter, digital calibration, bus mastering DMA, two 16-bit, 100-kHz D/A converters, 40 digital I/O
lines, four counters, and two timers.
Up to 470 channels of analog and digital I/O can be accessed with one DaqBoard/2000. Up to four boards
can be installed into a PC.
A 100-pin connector on the boards provides access to all of the input and output signals. The
DaqBoard/2000 and /2000c accommodate all I/O with one cable and one PCI [or compact-PCI] slot.
The 100-pin I/O connector, P4, is logically divided into three ports:•

P1 – Analog input port for16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs with 13 software
programmable ranges (±10 V to ±156 mV full scale).

•

P2 – General purpose digital I/O port with 24 lines, or digital I/O expansion port controlling up to 192
external lines.

•

P3 – 16-bit digital I/O port, counter inputs, timer outputs, and analog outputs.

The on-board scan sequencer lets you select up to 512 channel/range combinations. The sequencer scans
all channels of the scan at 5µs or 10 µs/channel.
Bus mastering allows analog and digital/counter input data, as well as analog and digital output data, toflow between the PC and the DaqBoard/2000 without consuming CPU time.
DaqBoard/2000 supports a full complement of trigger modes including:•

Hardware analog triggering – A user-programmed trigger level sets an analog DAC, which iscompared in hardware to the analog input level on the selected channel. Trigger latency is < 5 µs.

•

Digital and pattern triggering – The boards have separate digital trigger input line, allowing TTLlevel triggering and latencies less than 5 µs. The trigger can be programmed for logic level or edge
triggering. In pattern triggering, any of the digital input ports acts as the trigger port. You can program
the digital pattern.

•

Software-based triggering – The PC detects the trigger event from readings, either analog, digital, or
counter. Six pre- and post-triggering modes are supported.

The two 16-bit, 100-kHz analog output channels have an output from –10 V to +10 V. (These channels are
separate from the D/As used to determine analog trigger levels.) Using Bus Mastering DMA, each D/A canoutput a waveform. Bus Mastering DMA also allows for digital pattern generation on the 16-bit high-speed
digital I/O port.
Other features of the DaqBoard/2000 include:•

40 TTL-level digital I/O lines. They are divided into three 8-bit ports and one 16-bit port.

•

Four 16-bit counters. Each can accept frequency inputs up to 10 MHz. The counters can be cascaded
into two 32-bit counters.

•

Using DBK Cards and Modules for Signal Conditioning
The DBK signal-conditioning cards and module are designed for use with DaqBooks, LogBooks, andvarious types of data acquisition boards, i.e., ISA, PCI, and compact-PCI types. The DBKs perform bestwhen used with an acquisition device that can dynamically select channel, gain, and range. DBK cards andmodules with dynamic channel and gain/range selection allow for high channel-to-channel scan rates witha variety of transducers.
Note: Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal card, and the
DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with Daq PC-Cards.
DBK output signals can be bipolar, e.g., -5 to +5 V, or unipolar, e.g., 0 to 10 V. The user can select a
range of relevant values to correspond to the lowest signal (e.g., -5 or 0 V) and the highest signal (e.g., 5 or
10 V) signal. This type of range selection guarantees the highest resolution in 12-bit or 16-bit conversion.
DBK modules share the same footprint as the DaqBook and a typical notebook PCs; allowing forconvenient stacking. The majority of these modules have their own power supply; however, several
options exist for packaging and powering the DBKs.
Reference Note:
DBK options are detailed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s Manual(p/n 457-0905). As a part of product support, this manual is automatically loaded onto yourhard drive during software installation. The default location is the Programs directory, which
can be accessed through the Windows Desktop.

Daq Software
The Daq devices have software options capable of handling most applications. Three types of software areavailable:• ready-to-use graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, DaqViewXL, and post acquisition data analysis
programs such as PostView, DIAdem, and eZ-PostView• drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as DASYLab and LabView• various language drivers to aid custom programming using API
Ready-to-use programs are convenient for fill-in-the-blank applications that do not require programmingfor basic data acquisition and display:•

DaqView is a Windows-based program for basic set-up and data acquisition. DaqView lets you
select desired channels, gains, transducer types (including thermocouples), and a host of otherparameters with a click of a PC’s mouse. DaqView lets you stream data to disk and display data
in numerical or graphical formats. PostView is a post-acquisition waveform-display program
within DaqView.

•

DaqViewXL allows you to interface directly with Microsoft Excel to enhance data handling anddisplay. Within Excel you have a full-featured Daq control panel and all the data display
capabilities of Excel.

•

Post acquisition data analysis programs, e.g., PostView, DIAdem, and eZ-PostView, typicallyallow you to view and edit post-acquisition data.

•

The Daq Configuration control panel allows for interface configuration, testing, andtroubleshooting.

Each Daq system comes with an Application Programming Interface (API). API-language drivers include
C/C++ and Visual Basic. The latest software is a 32-bit version API.

you are unfamiliar with the method of setting up DBKs in DaqView, or if you need arefresher, refer to the following documents as needed.
¾ The DBK Set Up in DaqView chapter of the DBK Option Cards Modules User’s
Manual (p/n 457-0905),¾ The DBK Option Cards Modules User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905), for the applicable
DBK document module(s). The documentation discusses hardware configuration
aspects that require setup in software.
¾ The DaqView document module.
During software installation, documentation is automatically installed onto your hard drive
as a part of product support. The default location is the Programs directory, which can beaccessed through the Windows Desktop.
Note: As new DBKs become available, be sure to use the latest revision of DaqView with the proper
configuration options.
The following P1, P2, and P3 connector pinouts pertain to the DBK200 Series adapter boards that werediscussed in the first part of this chapter. P1, P2, and P3 are subset connectors of the 100-pin P4 connector
found on the DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series boards, and for that reason P4 pin-correlation isprovided.

CAUTION
Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1,P2 I/Os to P2, and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment
damage.

Note: In the pinouts that follow, some pins are irrelevant to certain DaqBoards. For example:
DaqBoard/2002, /2002c, /2004, and 2004c have no P1 correlation; and for those boards P1 and theassociated P4 pins should be ignored. The DaqBoard/2003 and /2003c only relate to P3 and theassociated P4 pins; but for these two boards, a DBK205 screw-terminal adapter is typically used(see page 3-3). Note that chapter 1, Device Systems and Device Overviews, contains detailed
information that is specific to each board.

Note 1: P3 pins 1 and 2 are not connected on DBK201.
Note 2: For DBK202, DBK203, and DBK204, the 37-pin P3 connector is obtained by connecting a CA-60 cable to an“On-Board” 40-pin header.
Note 3: Pins 31, 32, 33, and 34 on the P3 DB37 connector are used for Analog Out DACs. DaqBoard/2001, /2003 & /2004 can utilize
all four pins. DaqBoard/2000 does not make use of pins 31 or 32. DaqBoard/2002 and DaqBoard/2005 boards do not makeuse of pins 31 through 34 as these series two boards have no Analog Out DAC.

Overview
CE standards were developed by the European Union (EU) dating from 1985 and include specifications
both for safety and for EMI emissions and immunity. Now, all affected products sold in EU countries mustmeet such standards. Although not required in the USA, these standards are considered good engineering
practice since they enhance safety while reducing noise and ESD problems.
In contracted and in-house testing, most Daq* products met the required specifications. Those products
not originally in compliance were redesigned accordingly. In some cases, alternate product versions, shieldplates, edge guards, special connectors, or add-on kits are required to meet CE compliance.

CE-compliant products bear the “CE” mark and include a Declaration of Conformity stating theparticular specifications and conditions that apply. The test records and supporting documentationthat validate the compliance are kept on file at the factory.

CE Standards and Directives
The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directives specify two basic requirements:
1.
2.

The device must not interfere with radio or telecommunications.
The device must be immune from electromagnetic interference from RF transmitters, etc.

The standards are published in the Official Journal of European Union under direction of CENELEC(European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). The specific standards relevant to Daq*equipment are listed on the product’s Declaration of Conformity and include: CISPR22:1985;
EN55022:1988 (Information Technology Equipment, Class A for commercial/industrial use); andEN50082-1:1992 for various categories of EMI immunity.
The safety standard that applies to Daq* products is EN 61010-1 : 1993 (Safety Requirements forElectrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use, Part 1: General Requirements).
Environmental conditions include the following:•indoor use•

altitude up to 2000 m•

temperature 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)•

maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C (87.8°F) decreasing linearly
to 50% relative humidity at 40°C (104°F)•

mains supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ±10% of the nominal voltage•

other supply voltage fluctuations as stated by the manufacturer•transient overvoltage according to installation categories (overvoltage categories) I, II and III
For mains supply, the minimum and normal category is II•

pollution degree I or II in accordance with IEC 664

DaqBoard/1000 and /2000 Series User’s Manual

959495

CE-Compliance4-1

For clarification, terms used in some Declarations of Conformity include:•

pollution degree: any addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid or gaseous (ionized gases) that may
produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity. Pollution Degree I has no influenceon safety and implies: the equipment is at operating temperature with non-condensing humidity
conditions; no conductive particles are permitted in the atmosphere; warm-up time is sufficient toavert any condensation or frost; no hazardous voltages are applied until completion of the warm-up
period. Pollution Degree II implies the expectation of occasional condensation.

•

overvoltage (installation) category: classification with limits for transient overvoltage, dependent
on the nominal line voltage to earth. Category I implies signals without high transient values.
Category II applies to typical mains power lines with some transients.

Safety Conditions
Users must comply with all relevant safety conditions in the user’s manual and the Declarations ofConformity. This manual and Daq* hardware make use of the following Warning and Caution symbols:
If you see either of these symbols on a product, carefully read the related information and be alert to thepossibility of personal injury.
This warning symbol is used in this manual or on the equipment to warn of possible
injury or death from electrical shock under noted conditions.
This warning/caution symbol is used to warn of possible personal injury or
equipment damage under noted conditions.
Daq* products contain no user-serviceable parts; refer all service to qualified personnel. The
specific safety conditions for CE compliance vary by product; but general safety conditions include:
•
•
•
•

•

The operator must observe all safety cautions and operating conditions specified in the
documentation for all hardware used.
The host computer and all connected equipment must be CE compliant.
All power must be off to the device and externally connected equipment before internal access to thedevice is permitted.
Isolation voltage ratings: do not exceed documented voltage limits for power and signal inputs.
All wire insulation and terminal blocks in the system must be rated for the isolation voltage in use.
Voltages above 30 Vrms or ±60 VDC must not be applied if any condensation has formed on thedevice.
Current and power use must not exceed specifications. Do not defeat fuses or other over-current
protection.

Emissions/Immunity Conditions
The specific immunity conditions for CE compliance vary by product; but general immunity conditions
include:• Cables must be shielded, braid-type with metal-shelled connectors. Input terminal connections are to
be made with shielded wire. The shield should be connected to the chassis ground with the hardware
provided.
• The host computer must be properly grounded.
• In low-level analog applications, some inaccuracy is to be expected when I/O leads are exposed to
RF fields or transients over 3 or 10 V/m as noted on the Declaration of Conformity.

Glossary

Acquisition

A collection of scans acquired at a specified rate as controlled by the sequencer.

AnalogA signal of varying voltage or current that communicates data.

Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC)

A circuit or device that converts analog values into digital values, such as binary bits, for use indigital computer processing.

API

Application Program Interface. The interface program within the Daq system’s driver that
includes function calls specific to Daq hardware and can be used with user-written programs(several languages supported).

BipolarA range of analog signals with positive and negative values (e.g., -5 to +5 V); see unipolar.

BufferBuffer refers to a circuit or device that allows a signal to pass through it, while providing
isolation, or another function, without altering the signal. Buffer usually refers to:(a)

A device or circuit that allows for the temporary storage of data during data transfers. Suchstorage can compensate for differences in data flow rates. In a FIFO (First In - First Out)buffer, the data that is stored first is also the first data to leave the buffer.

(b)

A follower stage used to drive a number of gates without overloading the preceding stage.

(c)

An amplifier which accepts high source impedance input and results in low source
impedance output (effectively, an impedance buffer).

Buffer Amplifier

An amplifier used primarily to match two different impedance points, and isolate one stage froma succeeding stage in order to prevent an undesirable interaction between the two stages. (Alsosee, Buffer).

ChannelIn reference to Daq devices, channel simply refers to a single input, or output entity.
In a broader sense, an input channel is a signal path between the transducer at the point of
measurement and the data acquisition system. A channel can go through various stages(buffers, multiplexers, or signal conditioning amplifiers and filters). Input channels are
periodically sampled for readings.
An output channel from a device can be digital or analog. Outputs can vary in a programmed
way in response to an input channel signal.

Common mode

Common mode pertains to signals that are identical in amplitude and duration; also can be usedin reference to signal components.

Common mode
voltageCommon mode voltage refers to a voltage magnitude (referenced to a common point) that isshared by two or more signals. Example: referenced to common, Signal 1 is +5 VDC and
Signal 2 is +6 VDC. The common mode voltage for the two signals is +5.5 VDC [(5 + 6)/2].

CrosstalkAn undesired transfer of signals between systems or system components. Crosstalk causes
signal interference, more commonly referred to as noise.

DigitalA digital signal is one of discrete value, in contrast to a varying signal. Combinations of binary
digits (0s and 1s) represent digital data.

Glossary

Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC)

A circuit or device that converts digital values (binary bits), into analog signals.

DIP switch

A DIP switch is a group of miniature switches in a small Dual In-line Package (DIP). Typically,users set these switches to configure their particular application.

Differential mode

The differential mode measures a voltage between 2 signal lines for a single channel. (Also see
single-ended mode).

Differential mode
voltage

Differential mode voltage refers to a voltage difference between two signals that are referenced
to a common point. Example: Signal 1 is +5 VDC referenced to common. Signal 2 is +6 VDC
referenced to common.
If the +5 VDC signal is used as the reference, the differential mode voltage is +1 VDC(+ 6 VDC - +5 VDC = +1 VDC).
If the +6 VDC signal is used as the reference, the differential mode voltage is -1 VDC(+ 5 VDC - +6 VDC = -1 VDC).

ESDElectrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic charge between bodies having
different electrostatic potentials. This transfer occurs during direct contact of the bodies, orwhen induced by an electrostatic field. ESD energy can damage an integrated circuit (IC).

Excitation

Some transducers [e.g. strain gages, thermistors, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)]
require a known voltage or current. Typically, the variation of this signal through thetransducer corresponds to the condition measured.

Gain

The degree to which an input signal is amplified (or attenuated) to allow greater accuracy andresolution; can be expressed as ×n or ±dB.

Isolation

The arrangement or operation of a circuit so that signals from another circuit or device do notaffect the isolated circuit.
In reference to Daq devices, isolation usually refers to a separation of the direct link between thesignal source and the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Isolation is necessary whenmeasuring high common-mode voltage.

Linearization

Some transducers produce a voltage in linear proportion to the condition measured. Other
transducers (e.g., thermocouples) have a nonlinear response. To convert nonlinear signals into
accurate readings requires software to calibrate several points in the range used and theninterpolate values between these points.

Multiplexer (MUX)

A device that collects signals from several inputs and outputs them on a single channel.

Sample (reading)

The value of a signal on a channel at an instant in time. When triggered, the ADC reads thechannel and converts the sampled value into a 12- or 16-bit value.

Scan

A series of measurements across a pre-selected sequence of channels.

Sequencer

A programmable device that manages channels and channel-specific settings.

Simultaneous
Sample-and-Hold

An operation that gathers samples from multiple channels at the same instant and holds thesevalues until all are sequentially converted to digital values.

Single-ended mode

The single-ended mode measures a voltage between a signal line and a common reference that
may be shared with other channels. (Also see differential mode).

G-2

959395Glossary

TriggerAn event to start a scan or mark an instant during an acquisition. The event can be defined invarious ways; e.g., a TTL signal, a specified voltage level in a monitored channel, a button
manually or mechanically engaged, a software command, etc. Some applications may use preand post-triggers to gather data around an instant or based on signal counts.

TTL

Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) is a circuit in which a multiple-emitter transistor has replaced
the multiple diode cluster (of the diode-transistor logic circuit); typically used to communicate
logic signals at 5 V.

Unipolar

A range of analog signals that is always zero or positive (e.g., 0 to 10 V). Evaluating a signal in
the right range (unipolar or bipolar) allows greater resolution by using the full-range of thecorresponding digital value. See bipolar.
