transfer rate
the rate, measured in bytes/s, at which data is moved from source to
destination after software initialization and set up operations; the maximum
rate at which the hardware can operate
trigger
any event that causes or starts some form of data capture
TTL
transistor-transistor logic
U
unipolar
a voltage range that only spans positive voltages
update
the output equivalent of a scan. One or more analog or digital output
samples. Typically, the number of output samples in an update is equal to
the number of channels in the output group. For example, one pulse from
the update clock produces one update which sends one new sample to every
analog output channel in the group.
update rate
the number of output updates per second

V
volts
VDC
volts, direct current
V
rms
volts, root mean square
