digital signal. Analog signals can be single-ended or differential. For digital
signals, channels group to form ports. Ports usually consist of either four or
eight digital channels.
chassis The enclosure that houses, powers, and controls SCXI modules.
CJ TEMP cold-junction temperature sensor signal
CJC cold-junction compensation
CLK clock input signal
CMRR common-mode rejection ratio—A measure of the capability of an
instrument to reject a signal that is common to both input leads.
code width The smallest detectable change in an input voltage of a DAQ device.
cold-junction
compensation A method of compensating for inaccuracies in thermocouple circuits.
common-mode voltage Voltage that appears on both inputs of a differential amplifier.
cutoff frequency
The frequency at which the filter attenuates the input 3 dB, or half of its
original power.
