INL
integral nonlinearity—for an ADC, deviation of codes of the actual
transfer function from a straight line
interchannel delay
amount of time that passes between sampling consecutive channels.
The interchannel delay must be short enough to allow sampling of all
the channels in the channel list, within the scan interval. The greater the
interchannel delay, the more time the PGIA is allowed to settle before
the next channel is sampled. The interchannel delay is regulated by
CONVERT*.
I/O
input/output—the transfer of data to/from a computer system involving
communications channels, operator interface devices, and/or data
acquisition and control interfaces
