In order to calculate the actual input voltage from the digital "code" provided by the DAQ-16,
the user must know the configuration used to acquire the data. Given this informati on, the
input voltage can be calculated using the equations below:
Unipolar, binary
input = * Vmax
CODE
65,536
Bipolar, binary
input = - * 2 * Vmax
CODE
65,536 1

Unipolar, 2’s complement
input = + * Vmax
CODE
65,536 1
2
Bipolar, 2’s complement
input = * 2 * Vmax
CODE
65,536
