878595  Personal Daq User’s Manual 
At a measurement duration of 610 milliseconds, the last two bits are considered unreliable, resulting in a 
resolution of 22 bits.  At a very fast measurement duration (12.5 milliseconds), the nine most least 
significant bits are unreliable, resulting in 15 bit accuracy.

Notes: 
1. Each channel can have independent measurement duration and resolution. 
2. The sample rates and resolutions shown were obtained with a 10-channel scan and with 
continuous self-calibration disabled. 
3. Duration does not include the use of CJC measurements. 
 
Note:  When measuring variable input signals (as opposed to relatively steady input signals), the variable 
signals will require more samples/sec to obtain a realistic signal representation.  Available sample 
rates range from 1.6 samples per second up to 80 samples per second as indicated in the preceding 
table.
