Glossary
nonreferenced signal 
sources
signal sources with voltage signals that are not connected to an absolute 
reference or system ground. Also called floating signal sources. Some 
common example of nonreferenced signal sources are batteries, 
transformers, or thermocouples.
NRSE
nonreferenced single-ended mode—all measurements are made with 
respect to a common (NRSE) measurement system reference, but the 
voltage at this reference can vary with respect to the measurement system 
ground
O
onboard channels
channels provided by the plug-in data acquisition board
onboard RAM
optional RAM usually installed into SIMM slots
operating system
base-level software that controls a computer, runs programs, interacts with 
users, and communicates with installed hardware or peripheral devices
optical coupler, 
optocoupler
a device designed to transfer electrical signals by utilizing light waves to 
provide coupling with electrical isolation between input and output. 
Sometimes called optoisolator or photocoupler.
OUT
Output
P
parallel mode
a type of SCXI operating mode in which the module sends each of its input 
channels directly to a separate analog input channel of the device to the 
module
pattern generation
a type of handshaked (latched) digital I/O in which internal counters 
generate the handshaked signal, which in turn initiates a digital transfer. 
Because counters output digital pulses at a constant rate, this means you 
can generate and retrieve patterns at a constant rate because the handshaked 
signal is produced at a constant rate.
PC
personal computer
PC Card
a credit-card-sized expansion card that fits in a PCMCIA slot often referred 
to as a PCMCIA card
PCI
peripheral component interconnect
