RAM buffer size
8 k samples
Data transfer
DMA
Programmed I/O
DMA modes
Demand or non-demand using scatter gather.
Configuration memory
Up to 8 k elements. Programmable channel, gain, and offset
Streaming-to-disk rate
200 kS/s, system dependent
Accuracy
200 kS/s sampling rate, single channel operation and a 15-minute warm-up. Accuracies listed are for
measurements made following an internal calibration. They are valid for operational temperatures within ±1 °C
of internal calibration temperature, and ±10 °C of factory calibration temperature. Calculations for Absolute
Accuracy are based on the average of 100 measurements performed at the max input voltage for a given range,
measured after one year. Calibrator test source high side tied to channel 0 high, and low side tied to channel 0
low. Low-level ground is tied to channel 0 low at the user connector.
