Throughput rate to PC
The analog inputs are configured to run continuously. Each channel is sampled twice per second. The maximum
latency between when a sample is acquired and the temperature data is provided by the USB unit is
approximately 0.5 seconds.
Maximum throughput to a CompactFlash® memory card is 1 S/s per channel.

Note 2:
All ground pins on the device are common and are isolated from earth ground. If a connection is made to earth
ground when using digital I/O and conductive thermocouples, the thermocouples are no longer isolated. In this
case, thermocouples must not be connected to any conductive surfaces that may be referenced to earth ground.
