Gains and Ranges
A DAS-8 board measures analog input signals in the range of ±5V.
Each DAS-8/PGA(G2) or DAS-8/AO board contains a programmable
gain amplifier (PGA), which allows you to measure analog input signals
in one of several software-selectable unipolar and bipolar ranges. For
each channel on a DAS-8/PGA(G2) or DAS-8/AO board, you can specify
one of five bipolar and four unipolar analog input ranges.
Table 2-1 lists the gains supported by DAS-8 Series boards and the analog
input voltage range for each gain.
