nodes

execution elements of a block diagram consisting of functions, 
structures, and subVIs

noise

an undesirable electrical signal—Noise comes from external sources 
such as the AC power line, motors, generators, transformers, 
fluorescent lights, soldering irons, CRT displays, computers, electrical 
storms, welders, radio transmitters, and internal sources such as 
semiconductors, resistors, and capacitors. Noise corrupts signals you 
are trying to send or receive.

nonlatched digital I/O

a type of digital acquisition/generation where LabVIEW updates the 
digital lines or port states immediately or returns the digital value of 
an input line. Also called immediate digital I/O or non-handshaking.

nonreferenced signal 

signal sources with voltage signals that are not connected to an absolute

sources

reference or system ground. Also called floating signal sources. Some 
common example of nonreferenced signal sources are batteries, 
transformers, or thermocouples.

NRSE

nonreferenced single-ended mode—all measurements are made with 
respect to a common (NRSE) measurement system reference, but the 
voltage at this reference can vary with respect to the measurement 
system ground

Nyquist Sampling 

a law of sampling theory stating that if a continuous bandwidth-limited

Theorem

signal contains no frequency components higher than half the frequency 
at which it is sampled, then the original signal can be recovered without 
distortion

O

onboard channels

channels provided by the plug-in data acquisition board

onboard RAM

optional RAM usually installed into SIMM slots

OpenDoc

a compound document architecture created by the joining of several 
technologies supplied by Apple (the base OpenDoc architecture, the 
Bento file system and the Open Scripting Architecture) and IBM 
(the System Object Model)
