3.5.2.2  Input Data Format

Input  data  values  can  be  represented  either  in offset  binary  format  by  asserting  the  OFFSET
BINARY control bit HIGH (default state) in the BCR, or in two's complement format by clearing
the control bit LOW.   Both coding conventions are illustrated for 16-Bit data in Table 3.5.2.2.

Positive Full Scale

is a positive level that equals the selected input voltage range for the board

(e.g.:  +5.000  Volts  for  the    ±5V  range).

Negative  Full  Scale

is  the  negative  equivalent  of

positive  full-scale.

Full-scale  Range

(FSR

)

is  the  total  input  voltage  range. For  16-Bit  data,

one  LSB  equals  the  full-scale  range  divided  by  65,536.    (e.g.:  152.59  microvolts  for  the  ±5V
range).

3.5.3   Buffer Control Register

The buffer control register (Table 3.5.3) contains the threshold value for the buffer status flag,
and also provides control bits for clearing the buffer and for disabling the buffer input.

*  Changes to 0103 FFFEh when the buffer fills.

** Clears automatically.      *** Clear by writing LOW, or by board reset.
