Analog Input Circuitry
The general model for analog input on the PCI E Series boards
includes input multiplexer, multiplexer mode selection switches,
a software-programmable gain instrumentation amplifier, calibration
hardware, a sampling ADC, a 16-bit wide data FIFO, and a configuration
memory.
The configuration memory defines the parameters to use for each
conversion. Each entry in the configuration memory includes channel type,
channel number, bank, gain, polarity, dither, general trigger, and last
channel. The configuration memory is a 512-entry deep FIFO that is
initialized prior to the start of the acquisition sequence. It can be
incremented after every conversion, allowing the analog input
configuration to vary on a per conversion basis. Once the FIFO is empty,
