Does DSA Hardware Support Single Point Acquisition?Hardware: Modular Instruments>>Dynamic Signal Acquisition and Analysis (DSA)
Problem: Is it possible to do single point acquisition (on-demand or hardware timed) with Dynamical Signal Analyzer (DSA) hardware? Solution: No, at the present time Dynamic Signal Analyzer (DSA) hardware does not support single point (on-demand) acquisition. DSA hardware also does not support hardware timed single point acquisition. In both cases it is because of hardware limitations, namely the use of a Delta-Sigma analog-digital converter. Delta-Sigma ADCs provide excellent noise reduction and high dynamic ranges by over-sampling and then averaging those values. For this reason single point acquisitions are not supported by any hardware that uses Delta-Sigma ADCs. If single point (on-demand) is specified with DSA hardware, NI-DAQmx will throw the following error: ![]() ![]() Related Links: Product Support: Dynamic Signal Analyzers (DSA) Support Product and Services: Sound and Vibration Hardware Attachments:
