The NI ELVIS II Series uses one analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for analog input measurements. The multiplexers (MUX) route one AI channel at a time to the ADC through the NI-PGIA.
A/D Converter
The NI ELVIS II Series uses an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert the AI signal into a 16-bit digital number.
AI FIFO
The NI ELVIS II Series can perform both single and multiple A/D conversions of a fixed or infinite number of samples. A large first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer holds data during AI acquisitions to ensure that no data is lost.
