Chapter 2 Hardware Overview Input Ranges To optimize the ADC resolution, you can select different gains for the PGIA so that you can scale your input signal to match the full input range of the converter. The NI 5911 PGIA offers seven input ranges, from ±0.1 V to ±10 V, as shown in Table 2-1. Table 2-1. Input Ranges for the NI 5911 Range Input Protection Threshold ±10 V ±10 V ±5 V ±5 V ±2 V ±5 V ±1 V ±5 V ±0.5 V ±5 V ±0.2 V ±5 V ±0.1 V ±5 V Note If you try to acquire a signal below the set i

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview where V is the measured voltage, V is the source voltage, R is the external m s s source impedance, and R is the input impedance. in If the device you are measuring has a very large output impedance, your measurements will be affected by this impedance divider. For example, if the device has 1 MΩ output impedance, your measured signal is one-half of the actual signal value. Input Bias The inputs of the PGIA typically draw an input bias current of 1 nA at 25 °C. A

Chapter 2 Hardware Overview to allow an 8-bit digitizer to acquire accurate data. However, the NI 5911 in flexible resolution mode is much more precise and thus requires a greater number of time constants of settling time to achieve the desired precision. Refer to Appendix A, Digitizer Basics, of the NI-SCOPE Software User Manual, for more information on input coupling. Conventional and Flexible Resolution Modes In conventional mode, the NI 5911 works as a conventional desktop oscilloscope,
