Figure 2-3. Initiating Conversions
Note:
The ADC acquires data at a maximum of 4kHz (one sample every
25
µ
s). If you are using a hardware external clock, make sure that the
clock does not initiate conversions at a faster rate than the ADC can
handle.
If you are acquiring samples from multiple channels, the maximum
sampling rate for each channel is equal to 4kHz divided by the number of
channels.
The rate at which the computer can reliably read data from the board
depends on a number of factors, including your computer, the operating
system/environment, whether you are using expansion boards, the gains
of the channels, and software issues.
