Noise performance 

For the peak-to-peak noise distribution test, a differential input channel is connected to AGND at the input 
terminal block, and 32,000 samples are acquired at the maximum rate available at each setting.

Settling time 

Settling time is defined as the accuracy that can be expected after one conversion when switching from a 
channel with a DC input at one extreme of full scale to another channel with a DC input at the other extreme of 
full scale. Both input channels are configured for the same input range.
