DAQ/PXI-2005/2006/2016 AI Data Format
The data format of the acquired 16-bit A/D data is Binary coding.
Table 7 and 8 illustrate the valid input ranges and the ideal transfer
characteristics. The converted digital codes for DAQ/PXI-2005/
2006/2016 are 16-bit and direct binary, and here we present the
codes as hexadecimal numbers.
Software conversion with polling data transfer acqui-sition
mode (Software Polling)
This is the easiest way to acquire a single A/D data. The A/D con-
verter starts one conversion whenever the dedicated software
command is executed. Then the software would poll the conver-
sion status and read the A/D data back when it is available.
