12.1 Description

Diamond-MM-32DX-AT uses a four-channel 16-bit standard (12-bit optional) D/A converter (DAC) to provide four analog outputs. A 16-bit DAC can generate output voltages with the precision of a 16-bit binary number. The maximum value of a 16-bit binary number is 2^16-1, or 65535, so the full range of numerical values that you can write to the analog outputs on Diamond-MM-32DX-AT is 0 – 65535 (or 0 – 4095).

Note: In this manual, the terms analog output, D/A, and DAC are all used interchangeably to mean the same thing
