fetch-and-deposit
a data transfer in which the data bytes are transferred from the source to the 
controller, and then from the controller to the target
FIFO
first-in first-out memory buffer—the first data stored is the first data sent 
to the acceptor. FIFOs are often used on DAQ devices to temporarily store 
incoming or outgoing data until that data can be retrieved or output. For 
example, an analog input FIFO stores the results of A/D conversions until 
the data can be retrieved into system memory, a process that requires the 
servicing of interrupts and often the programming of the DMA controller. 
This process can take several milliseconds in some cases. During this time, 
data accumulates in the FIFO for future retrieval. With a larger FIFO, 
longer latencies can be tolerated. In the case of analog output, a FIFO 
permits faster update rates, because the waveform data can be stored on the 
FIFO ahead of time. This again reduces the effect of latencies associated 
with getting the data from system memory to the DAQ device.
filtering
a type of signal conditioning that allows you to filter unwanted signals from 
the signal you are trying to measure
