DAQ Rates
Maximum DAQ rates (number of samples per second) are determined by 
the conversion period of the ADC plus the sample-and-hold acquisition 
time. During multichannel scanning, the DAQ rates are further limited by 
the settling time of the input multiplexers and programmable gain 
amplifier. After the input multiplexers are switched, the amplifier must be 
allowed to settle to the new input signal value to within 12-bit accuracy 
before you perform an A/D conversion, or 12-bit accuracy will not be 
achieved. The settling time is a function of the gain selected.
Table 4-1 shows the recommended settling time for each gain setting 
during multichannel scanning. Table 4-2 shows the maximum 
recommended DAQ rates for both single-channel and multichannel data 
acquisition. For single-channel scanning, this rate is limited only by the 
ADC conversion period plus the sample-and-hold acquisition time, 
specified at 10
µs. For multichannel data acquisition, observing the DAQ 
rates in Table 4-2 ensures 12-bit resolution. The hardware is capable of 
multiple scanning at higher rates than those listed in Table 4-2, but 12-bit 
resolution is not guaranteed.
