Terms &
Abbreviations You
Should Know You should understand the following terms and abbreviations before using
this guide.
A/D - Refers to analog-to-digital conversion. The conversion produces a
digital value whose magnitude is proportional to the instantaneous
magnitude of an analog input signal.
Attenuation – The reduction in magnitude of a signal as it passes through
a system. The opposite of gain.
Channel – Refers to one of eight, small-signal analog input interfaces to
the module’s terminal block. Each channel is configured for connection to
a input device, and has its own configuration and status words.
Chassis – The component in which the I/O resides. The backplane
connection is facilitated through a series of connectors that mate to the I/
O.
Common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) - The ratio of a device’s
differential voltage gain to common mode voltage gain. Expressed in dB,
CMRR is a comparative measure of a device’s ability to reject
interference caused by a voltage common to its terminal relative to
ground.
Common mode voltage – The voltage difference between the negative
terminal and analog common during normal differential operation.
Cut-off frequency - The frequency at which the input signal is attenuated
3 dB by the digital filter. Frequency components of the input signal that
