S
s seconds
Ssamples
SCANCLK scan clock signal
SCXI Signal Conditioning eXtensions for Instrumentation—the National
Instruments product line for conditioning low-level signals within
an external chassis near sensors so only high-level signals are sent
to DAQ boards in the noisy computer environment
SE single-ended—a term used to describe an analog input that is
measured with respect to a common ground
settling time the amount of time required for a voltage to reach its final value
within specified limits
signal conditioning the manipulation of signals to prepare them for digitizing
SISOURCE SI counter clock signal
SOURCE source signal
S/s samples per second—used to express the rate at which a DAQ
board samples an analog signal
STARTSCAN start scan signal
system noise a measure of the amount of noise seen by an analog circuit or an
ADC when the analog inputs are grounded
