Note
Channels that use these filters have greater output impedance. This can result in
loading errors if the connected load impedance is not much higher than the filter’s output
impedance.
Building Lowpass Filters
Building lowpass filters for the analog output signals is the same as for the
analog inputs. Refer to the
Analog Input Signal Conditioning
section for
more detailed information about lowpass filters and how to calculate values
for lowpass filters. Refer to Figure 3-14 for component locations.
Figure 3-12 shows a 4 Hz lowpass filter for AO 0.
Figure 3-12.

Building Highpass Filters
Building highpass filters for analog output is the same as for analog input.
Refer to the
Analog Input Signal Conditioning
section for more detailed
information about highpass filters and how to calculate values for them.
Refer to Figure 3-14 for component locations. Figure 3-13 shows a 50 kHz
highpass filter for AO 0.
