Linearity
Linearity is measured with a National Instruments 4071 PXI digital multimeter operated in digitizer mode at 5 kS/s
connected to AO1. The sinewave has a frequency of 100 Hz and amplitudes ranging from 10 V (0 dBFS) to 10 µV (-
120 dBFS). The following settings were used for the measurement:
SC5
DMM
Measured output: AO1 Mode of operation: Digitizer, AC volts
Output signal: Sine wave Range: 10 V and 100 mV
Frequency: 100 Hz Sampling rate: 5 kS/s
Resolution: 18 bit
