PGIA
programmable gain instrumentation amplifier
PLL
phase-locked loop
ppm
parts per million
pseudodifferential
channels
pseudodifferential channels are all referred to a common ground, but this
ground is not directly connected to the computer ground. Often this
connection is made by a relatively low value resistor to give some
isolation between the two grounds.
pu
pull up
PWB
printed wire board
PXI
PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation—an open specification that builds
off the CompactPCI specification by adding instrumentation-specific
features
R
range
the maximum and minimum parameters between which a sensor,
instrument, or device operates with a specified set of characteristics
referenced signal
sources
signal sources with voltage signals that are referenced to a system ground,
such as the earth or a building ground; also called grounded signal
sources
