Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy)In Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy), you can configure software settings, such
as configuration, voltage excitation level, filter bandwidth, gain/input
signal range, and calibration settings in the following three ways:
• module property pages in MAX
• virtual channels properties in MAX
• functions in your ADE
Note All software-configurable settings are not configurable in all three ways. This
section only discusses settings in MAX. Refer to Chapter 4, Theory of Operation, for

can set bandwidth through your application. The default filter
bandwidth level for Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) is 4 Hz.
