D
D/A
digital-to-analog 
DAC
digital-to-analog converter—an electronic device, often an integrated 
circuit, that converts a digital number into a corresponding analog 
voltage or current
DAC0OUT
analog channel 0 voltage output signal
DAC1OUT
analog channel 1 voltage output signal
DAQ
data acquisition—a system that uses the computer to collect, receive, 
and generate electrical signals
DAQ-STC
data acquisition system timing controller—an application-specific 
integrated circuit (ASIC) for the system timing requirements of a 
general A/D and D/A system
dB
decibel—the unit for expressing a logarithmic measure of the ratio of 
two signal levels: dB = 20log10 V1/V2, for signals in volts
DC
direct current
DGND
digital ground signal
DI
digital input
DIFF
differential mode
DIO
digital input/output
DIP
dual inline package
dithering
the addition of Gaussian noise to an analog input signal
DMA
direct memory access—a method by which data can be transferred 
to/from computer memory from/to a device or memory on the bus while 
the processor does something else. DMA is the fastest method of 
transferring data to/from computer memory.
DNL
differential nonlinearity—a measure in least significant bit of the 
worst-case deviation of code widths from their ideal value of 1 LSB
DO
digital output
