I need the raw ADC output from a PCI-4462 using DAQmx

Is this possible or are only scaled engineering units availible.

There is a "Raw" version of DAQmx Read (see image).  That is probably what you are looking for.

Alan,

 

one question to the 'raw':

Is this the real ADC raw? 

How about internal filter, calibration,compensation, scale, gain, oversampling, ... all that stuff well packed into the FPGA/Asic to squeeze the last bit out of the hardware ? 

If you set the range to 0-5V and choose U16  0xFFFF is expected to be 5V, but what was the ADC(!) output?

Thank you Burban,

 

is there something similar about the digitizer PXI-5922 and PXI-5124?

Yes Henrik, use the niScope Fetch Binary VI to achieve similar results with a digitizer.  You can find this VI by dropping a niScope Fetch and then selecting a a 1D I8, I16, or I32 based on the resolution of your instrument.
