Mixing high gains (±500 mV, ±50 mV) with low gains (±10 V, ±5 V) within the channel-gain
queue is not supported.

Accuracy
200 kS/s sampling rate, single channel operation and a 15-minute warm-up. Accuracies listed are formeasurements made following an internal calibration. They are valid for operational temperatures within ±1 °C
of internal calibration temperature and ±10 °C of factory calibration temperature. Calibrator test source highside tied to channel 0 high and low side tied to channel 0 low. Low-level ground is tied to channel 0 low at theuser connector.

Averaged measurements assume averaging of 100 single-channel readings.

Each PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 is tested at the factory to assure the board’s overall error does notexceed accuracy limits described in Table 1.

Note 2:

Default to value for cbAInScan() range parameter

For conditions 1-2 above, specified accuracy is maintained at rated throughput. Condition 3
applies a calibration coefficient which corresponds to the range value selected in cbAInScan().
This coefficient remains unchanged throughout the scan. Increased settling times may occur
during gain-switching operations.

Settling time
Settling time is defined as the time required for a channel to settle to within a specified accuracy in response toa full-scale (FS) step. Two channels are scanned at the specified rate. A –FS DC signal is presented tochannel 1; a +FS DC signal is presented to channel 0.

Noise performance
Table 4 summarizes the noise performance for the PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014. Noise distribution isdetermined by gathering 50 K samples with inputs tied to ground at the user connector. Samples are gathered atthe maximum specified single-channel-sampling rate. This specification applies to both single-ended anddifferential modes of operation.
