The Offset DAC (1) data entry box allows a voltage to be added to the input signal to null out the effects
of any offsets in the preamplifier or input circuitry. It also useful when measuring a small AC signal that is
superimposed on a large DC offset. The DC portion of the signal can be subtracted before the AC signal
is amplified and digitized.
The Offset Enable (2) check box enables the Offset DAC to be added to the input signal.
The Input Gain (3) dropdown box allows the input signal to be amplified before it is digitized. This can
improve the resolution of the measurement as more of the full scale range of the ADC will be utilized. The
gain can be increased by factors of 2 from 1 to 512.
