Because of the NI standard architecture for data acquisition, the
DAQCard-1200 is completely software configurable.
Data acquisition-related configuration, which you must perform, includes
such settings as analog input coupling and range, and others. You can
modify these settings using NI-DAQ or application-level software, such as
LabVIEW and Measurement Studio.
To configure the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX),
refer to either the DAQ Quick Start Guide or to the NI-DAQ User Manual
for PC Compatibles.
At startup, the DAQCard-1200 defaults to the following configuration:
•
Referenced single-ended input mode
•
±5 V AI range
Table 2-1 lists the available AI configurations for the DAQCard-1200 and
shows the default settings.
