Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy)
In Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy), you can configure software settings, such
as configuration, voltage excitation level, filter bandwidth, gain/input
signal range, and calibration settings in the following three ways:
•
Module property pages in MAX
•
Virtual channels properties in MAX
•
Functions in your ADE
Note
All software-configurable settings are not configurable in all three ways. This
section only discusses settings in MAX. Refer to Chapter 4,
, for
information about using functions in your application.
Most of these settings are available in module properties and/or using
virtual channels:
•
Filter bandwidth—configure only using module properties. You also
can set bandwidth through your application. The default filter
bandwidth level for Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) is 4 Hz.
