RSE
referenced single-ended mode—all measurements are made with respect to
a common reference measurement system or a ground. Also called a
grounded measurement system.
RTD
resistive temperature detector—a metallic probe that measures temperature
based upon its coefficient of resistivity
RTSIbus
Real-Time System Integration bus—the National Instruments timing bus
that connects DAQ devices directly, by means of connectors on top of the
devices, for precise timing synchronization between multiple devices
RTSI_OSC
RTSI Oscillator—RTSI bus master clock
S
s
seconds
S
samples
SCANCLK
scan clock signal
SCXI
Signal Conditioning eXtensions for Instrumentation—the National
Instruments product line for conditioning low-level signals within an
external chassis near sensors so only high-level signals are sent to DAQ
devices in the noisy computer environment
SE
single-ended—a term used to describe an analog input that is measured
with respect to a common ground
settling time
the amount of time required for a voltage to reach its final value within
specified limits
signal conditioning
the manipulation of signals to prepare them for digitizing
SISOURCE
SI counter clock signal
SOURCE
source signal
S/s
samples per second—used to express the rate at which a DAQ device
samples an analog signal
system noise
a measure of the amount of noise seen by an analog circuit or an ADC when
the analog inputs are grounded
