For example, in the fastest mode, with ADC settling time set to 1 µs, a single analog channel can be scanned continuously at 1 MS/s; two analog channels can be scanned at 500 kS/s each; 16 analog input channels can be scanned at 62.5 kS/s.
Settling time
For most applications, leave the settling time at its default of 1 µs.
However, if you are scanning multiple channels, and one or more channels are connected to a
You can set the settling time to 1 µs, 5 µs, 10 µs, or 1 ms.
Example: Analog channel scanning of voltage inputs
Figure 7 shows a simple acquisition. The scan is programmed pre-acquisition and is made up of six analog channels (Ch0, Ch1, Ch3, Ch4, Ch6, and Ch7). Each of these analog channels can have a different gain. The acquisition is triggered and the samples stream to the PC. Each analog channel requires one microsecond of scan time—therefore the scan period can be no shorter than 6 µs for this example. The scan period can be made much longer than 6 µs—up to 1 s. The maximum scan frequency is one divided by 6 µs, or 166,666 Hz.

Example: Analog channel scanning of voltage and temperature inputs
Figure 8 shows a programmed pre-acquisition scan made up of six analog channels (Ch0, Ch1, Ch5, Ch11, Ch12, Ch13). Each of these analog channels can have a different gain. You can program channels 0 and 1 to directly measure TCs.
In this mode, oversampling is programmable up to 16384 oversamples per channel in the scan group. When oversampling is applied, it is applied to all analog channels in the scan group, including temperature and voltage channels. Digital channels are not oversampled.
