•A conversion signal initiates individual analog-to-digital (A/D)
conversions. This signal can be supplied from the onboard
programmable sample timer, externally through a selected
I/O connector pin, through a RTSI bus trigger line, or by software.
•A stop trigger is a signal used for pretriggered data acquisition to
notify your device to stop acquiring data after a specified number of
scans. Data acquisition operation is continuously performed until the
device receives this signal. This signal can be supplied externally
through a selected I/O connector pin, through a RTSI bus trigger line,
or by software.
•A gate is a signal used for gating the data acquisition. When you enable
gating, the data acquisition will proceed only on selected level of the
gate signal. This signal can be supplied externally through a selected
I/O connector pin, through a RTSI bus trigger line.
•A scan timer timebase is a signal used by the scan timer for scan
interval timing. This signal is used only when the scan timer is used.
This signal can be supplied from one of the onboard timebase sources,
externally through a selected I/O connector pin, or through a RTSI bus
trigger line.
•A sample-interval timer timebase is a signal used by the sample
interval timer for conversion timing. This signal is used only when the
sample interval timer is used. This signal can be supplied from one of
the onboard timebase sources, externally through a selected I/O
connector pin, or through a RTSI bus trigger line.
See your DAQ device user manual for more information regarding these
signals.
DAQ devices with the DAQ-STC use two counters, the scan interval
counter and the sample interval counter. The E Series devices support both
internal and external timebases. The internal timebases available on the
DAQ-STC are 20 MHz (50 ns) and 100 kHz (10 µs). The scan interval
counter is a 24-bit counter, and the sample interval counter is a 16-bit
counter.
While the scan interval counter has the freedom to work with both internal
and external timebases, the sample interval counter can use either the
20 MHz timebase or the timebase used by the scan interval counter.
When you specify a timebase value different from the internal timebases
the DAQ-STC uses, NI-DAQ tries to convert the timebase and interval
values you specified into those that the DAQ-STC can use. If NI-DAQ
cannot make the translation without a loss of resolution, it returns
