NI-DAQmx The latest NI-DAQ driver with new VIs, functions, and development tools
for controlling measurement devices. The advantages of NI-DAQmx over
earlier versions of NI-DAQ include the DAQ Assistant for configuring
channels and measurement tasks for your device for use in LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio; increased performance such
as faster single-point analog I/O; and a simpler API for creating DAQ
applications using fewer functions and VIs than earlier versions of
NI-DAQ.
NRSE Non-Referenced Single-Ended mode—all measurements are made with
respect to a common (NRSE) measurement system reference, but the
voltage at this reference can vary with respect to the measurement system
ground.
O
OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer.
offset The unwanted DC voltage due to amplifier offset voltages added to a
signal.
P
PCI Peripheral Component Interconnect—a high-performance expansion bus
architecture originally developed by Intel to replace ISA and EISA. It
offers a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 132 Mbytes/s.
PGIA Programmable gain instrumentation amplifier.
physical channel See
channel.
PXI PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation—PXI is an open specification that
builds off the CompactPCI specification by adding
instrumentation-specific features.
R
RSE Referenced single-ended mode—all measurements are made with respect
to a common reference measurement system or a ground. Also called a
grounded measurement system.
