The digital filter in each channel passes only those signal components with
frequencies that lie below the Nyquist frequency or within one Nyquist
bandwidth of multiples of 128 times the sample rate. The analog filter in
each channel rejects possible aliases (mostly noise) from signals that lie
near these multiples. Figures 6-1 and 6-2 show the frequency response of
the PCI-445X input circuitry.
