amount of memory required to store
one byte of data.
C
Cache
High-speed processor memory that
buffers commonly used instructions or
data to increase processing throughput.
Channel List
A variable length list of 1 to 256
channels and their associated gains and
“slow bits” specifying which analog
input channels to convert to digital
values. In continuous A/D acquisition
mode the list wraps around to the first
channel after it reaches the end. The
channels need not be in any particular
order.
Control Register(s)
Registers containing control bits to
initiate control signals to various
onboard subsystems.
CMRR
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio A
measure of an instrument's ability to
reject interference from a common-
mode signal, usually expressed in
decibels (dB).
Code Generator
A software program, controlled from
an intuitive user interface that creates
syntactically correct high-level source
code in languages such as C or Basic.
Cold-Junction
Compensation
The means to compensate for the
ambient temperature in a thermocouple
measurement circuit.
Common-Mode Range
The input range over which a circuit
can handle a common-mode signal.
Common-Mode Signal
The mathematical average voltage,
relative to the computer's ground, of
the signals from a differential input.
