Input Polarity and Input Range
♦
VXI-MIO-64E-1
This module has two input polarities—unipolar and bipolar. The
VXI-MIO-64E-1
has a unipolar input range of 10 V (0 to 10 V) and
a bipolar input range of 10 V (
±
5 V). You can program polarity and
range settings on a per channel basis so that you can configure each
input channel uniquely.
The software-programmable gain on this module increases its
overall flexibility by matching the input signal ranges to those that
the ADC can accommodate. The VXI-MIO-64E-1 has gains of 0.5,
1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 and is suited for a wide variety of signal
levels. With the proper gain setting, you can use the full resolution
of the ADC to measure the input signal. Table 3-2 shows the
overall input range and precision according to the configuration
and gain used.
