I am primarily a software developer creating a tool for various engineers to use LabJack T7 Pro as a data acquisition tool. I intend to add the Mux80 card. I want to write a tool with a single configuration that fits the majority of out team's needs. The criteria are in order of importance:
- Maximum precision: 22 bit with differential input +/- 10V
- Maximum analog inputs: 42 using the Mux80
- Highest sampling based on the previous two criteria
My question is: What is the highest sampling based on the first two criteria?
If it is 10 Hz or better I am happy. I did not see a discussion of this in the spec sheets. Just how fast "fast" 16 bit acquisition is.
I am an experienced software developer so the complexity of coding this is not a concern. I can set up streaming if necessary.
Information about resolution and rates can be found here: https://labjack.com/support/datasheets/t-series/appendix-a-1
From table A.1.7: To run at 420 SpS we need to use resolution index 5 or lower. Index 5 is 17.9 bits.
A 22-bit reading takes ~159 ms. While reading 42 channels, the highest possible rate will be 0.149 Hz.
