Analog Input (Multifunction R Series Only)
You can sample NI 783xR/784xR/785xR AI channels simultaneously or at
different rates. The input mode is software configurable, and the input
range is fixed at ±10 V. The converters return data in two’s complement
format. Table 2-1 shows the ideal output code returned for a given AI
voltage.
