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 thermocouple or DC millivolt (mV) input device, and has its own
configuration and status words.
Chassis – See rack.
