Operation Theory
4.1 A/D Conversion
When using an A/D converter, users should know the properties of
the signal to be measured. In addition, users should setup the A/D
configura-tions, including scan channels, input range, and polari-
ties.
The A/D acquisition is initiated by a trigger signal. The data acqui-
sition will start once the trigger signal matches the trigger condi-
tions. Converted data are queued into the FIFO buffer, and then
transferred to the host PC's memory for further processing.
Two acquisition modes: Software Polling and Programmable Scan
are described in the following sections, including the timing, trigger
modes, trigger sources, and transfer methods.
DAQ/PXI-2500 series AD Data Format
The data format of the acquired 14-bit A/D data is 2’s Complement
coding. Table 4-1 and 4-2 lists the valid input ranges and the ideal
transfer characteristics.
