Analog input
Table 1. Analog input specifications
Note 1: Input current is a function of applied voltage on the analog input channels. For a given input
voltage, Vin, the input leakage is approximately equal to (8.181*Vin-12) µA.
Note 2: Maximum throughput scanning to PC memory is machine dependent. The rates specified are
for Windows XP only. Maximum rates on operating systems that predate XP may be less and
must be determined through testing on your machine
