Sampling rateSampling rate

Multiplexing means that the sampling rate is shared across all active input channels. For example, 100KS/s / 16 channels = 6.25KS/s per channel !!!But PCI-1714 is capable of up to 30MS/s per channel – 4 A/D converters

Differential has advantage of immune toinduced noise on the two input terminals. Since these two signals are subtracted from each other, rather than one terminal to ground, hence, the term is differential.
