A/D converter type

 

ADS1256, 24-bit Sigma Delta

 

A/D data rates

 

3750 samples per second (S/s), 2000 S/s, 1000 S/s, 500 S/s, 100 S/s,

 

 

 

60 S/s, 50 S/s, 25 S/s, 10 S/s, 5 S/s, 2.5 S/s

 

Throughput

 

Single channel: 2.5 Hz to 1102.94 Hz, software selectable

 

 

 

Multiple channels: 0.16 Hz to 1102.94 Hz, software selectable

 

 

 

See Table 18 and Table 19 for details.

 

 

 

 

 

Number of channels

 

Up to 32 channels individually software-configurable as single-

 

 

 

ended or differential

 

 

 

Thermocouples require differential mode. For each channel

 

 

 

configured as differential, you essentially lose one single-ended

 

 

 

channel. You can add channels by connecting to an

 

 

 

OMB-AI-EXP32.
