What Is the System Accuracy of the VXI-MIO-64E-1?

Hardware: VXI/VME/MXI>>VXI Data Acquisition and Instrument Modules>>VXI-MIO-64E-1

Problem: What is the system accuracy of the VXI-MIO-64E-1?

Solution: You can find the overall system accuracy by
square root(rel.accuracy^2 + gain error^2 + offset error^2 + system noise^2 + settling time acc.^2)
LSB (Least significant bits) = 10 V/4096 = 2.4 mV
Rel. accuracy = .5 LSB = 1.2 mV
Gain error = 0.02% of reading = .0002 * 10 V Full scale range = 2 mV
Offset error = pregain offset * gain + postgain offset 
= .012 mV * gain + .5 mV
= .512 mV (gain = 1)
= 1.7 mV (gain = 100)
Multiply System Noise times 3 to provide 3 standard deviations of the Gaussian error curve = 99% of total noise.
System noise = .15 LSB (Gain = .5-20) * 3 = 1.1 mV
= .3 (gain = 50) * 3 = 2.2 mV
= .5 (gain = 100) * 3 = 3.6 mV
Settling time accuracy depends on your sampling rate. Assume 0.5 LSB settling = 1.2 mV.
System accuracy (mV) 
= sqrt(1.2^2 + 2^2 + .512^2 + 1.1^2 + 1.2^2) =
2.9 mV = .029% (gain=1) = sqrt(1.2^2 + 2^2 + 1.7^2 + 3.6^2 + 1.2^2) =
4.8 mV = .048% (gn=100)
