Configuring and Sampling Input Channels

The hardware you are using has characteristics that satisfy your specific application needs. Some of the most important hardware characteristics are related to configuring:

• The input channel type
• The sampling rate
• The channel skew (scanning hardware only)

Properties associated with configuring and sampling input channels are given below.

Table 5-1: Analog Input Properties Related to Sampling Channels

Property Name	Description
ChannelSkew	Specify the time between consecutive scanned hardware channels.
ChannelSkewMode	Specify how the channel skew is determined.
InputType	Specify the analog input hardware channel configuration.
SampleRate	Specify the per-channel rate at which analog data is converted to digital data.
