(NI 6154 Only)
S Series isolated hardware also includes bank and
channel-to-channel isolation. Isolated DAQ hardware allows for increased
protection against hazardous voltages, rejection of common-mode
voltages, and reduction of ground loops and their associated noise.
Figure 2-3 shows the components of the isolated S Series (NI 6154) device.

DAQ-STC2
The DAQ-STC2 implements a high-performance digital engine for
S Series data acquisition hardware. Some key features of this engine
include the following:
•
Flexible AI and AO sample and convert timing
•
Many triggering modes
•
Independent AI, AO, DI, and DO FIFOs
•
Generation and routing of RTSI signals for multi-device
synchronization
•
Generation and routing of internal and external timing signals
