Auto-Calibration Time Your module requires some time to auto-calibrate a channel. During this
time, your module cannot sample and convert input signals. Table 10
shows the time required for auto-calibration. When enabled, auto-
calibration occurs every 10 seconds for each channel, independently.

Channel Enable And
Disable Times
Your module requires some time to enable or disable a channel. During
this time, your module cannot sample and convert input signals. Table 11
shows the time required for enabling or disabling a channel.
Table 11. Channel enable and disable times.
Duration
Channel Enable Up to 6.5 ms
Enabling user-defined scaling may require an additional 0.1 ms.
Channel Disable Up to 5.5 ms
