System-dependent. Using the Universal Library programmed output
function (cbAOut()) in a loop, in Visual Basic, a typical update rateof 150 kHz (± 70 nS jitter) can be expected. The rate was measured on
a 500 MHz Pentium III based PC.

Each PCIM-DDA06/16 is tested at the factory to assure the board’s overall error does not exceed ±2.0 LSB.
Total board error is a combination of gain, offset, integral linearity and differential linearity error. The
theoretical worst-case error of the board may be calculated by summing these component errors. Worst caseerror is realized only in the unlikely event that each of the component errors are at their maximum level, andcausing error in the same direction.
Typical accuracy is derived directly from the various component typical errors. This typical, maximum error
calculation for the PCIM-DDA06/16 yields ±1.0 LSB.
