Function Block and Operation Theory 23
4 Function Block and Operation Theory
The operation theory of the functions on the PXI-2020/2022 is
described in this chapter. The functions include the A/D conver-
sion, Digital I/O and General Purpose Counter/Timer. The opera-
tion theory can help you understand how to configure and program
the PXI-2020/2022.
The entire PXI-2020 series of cards includs the PXI-2020/2022. In
the PXI-2022 cards, all the A/D related timings are for simultane-
ously A/D sampling based on scanning, so that PXI-2022 also
adopts the same concept, except there is only one conversion sig-
nal in a scan which could generate up to 16 samples from the dif-
ferent 16 channels at the same time. In the following description,
to conform to the original timing design, we still use “scan” as the
unit of A/D data acquisition.
