Getting Started with Analog Input

---

Analog input (AI) subsystems convert real-world analog signals from a sensor into bits that can be read by your computer. AI subsystems are typically multichannel devices offering 12 or 16 bits of resolution. The Data Acquisition Toolbox product provides access to analog input devices through an analog input object.

This chapter shows you how to perform simple analog input tasks using just a few functions and properties. After reading this chapter, you should be able to use the toolbox to configure your own analog input session. The sections are as follows.

• Creating an Analog Input Object

• Adding Channels to an Analog Input Object

• Configuring Analog Input Properties

• Acquiring Data

• Analog Input Examples

• Evaluating the Analog Input Object Status
