Measure Data Acquisition User Manual
Analog Input Reference
This chapter introduces some basic concepts of data acquisition and
contains a reference for analog input configuration, hardware digital
triggering, analog input modes, and advanced timing. You should be
familiar with the hardware capabilities of your data acquisition device.
DAQ Device Overview
Measure works with a wide variety of National Instrument DAQ
devices. This chapter provides a technical overview and reference
information about using Measure for analog input operations. Many of
the parameters that you can set up with Measure vary depending on
your DAQ device. For example, DAQ devices vary in acquisition
speed which affects how fast you can acquire data using Measure. In
addition, some DAQ devices have more extensive triggering
capabilities than other DAQ devices. Measure does not disable any of
its options according to the selected DAQ device. When selecting
options which are not supported by a particular DAQ device, you get
an error message during configuration or testing. Refer to the
documentation included with your DAQ hardware to learn more about
the particular capabilities of your DAQ device.
