Hardware considerations
Associating CJC channels with TC channels
The TC channels must immediately follow their associated CJC channels in the channel array. For accurate
thermocouple readings, associate CJC channels with the TC channels as listed in the following table:
When the AI-EXP48 board is installed:
The board must be configured for differential inputs when using thermocouples
TC inputs are supported by differential mode configuration only.
Channel count
For input and output scans, the count must be set to an integer multiple of the number of channels or a
BADCOUNT error is returned.
Sampling and update rates
Sampling and update rates are system-dependent. Data overruns/underruns may occur with higher sampling
rates when using BACKGROUND and CONTINUOUS modes. To avoid this, use a larger buffer/count size, or use
NONSTREAMEDIO mode, if supported. The minimum size buffer is 256 for cbAOutScan()/AOutScan(). Values
less than that result in a BADBUFFERSIZE error.
Settling time
For most applications, settling time should be left at the default value of 1 µs. However, if you are scanning
multiple channels and one or more channels are connected to a high impedance source, you may get better
results by increasing the settling time. Keep in mind that increasing the settling time reduces the maximum
acquisition rate. You can set the time between A/D conversions with the ADC Settling Time option in
InstaCal. Select between 1 µs, 5 µs, 10 µs, or 1 ms.
