Voltage Range E Series DAQ

[Aliasless]

I have a PCI-MIO-16E DAQ.  My input voltage range is 0.7 - 1.1 volts.  The manual seems to suggest that I can only choose voltage ranges that have discrete values, ie. 0-1; 0-2; 0-5 etc. 

The NI Measurement & Automation Explorer allows me to select 0.7 - 1.1 volts, however.  So my question is:  will the resolution be based on dividing the range 0.7 - 1.1 volts into 4096 parts, or by dividing 0 - 2 volts into 4096 parts?

Thanks,

The actual input ranges of the DAQ board are fixed. I don't know the specifics of your board but the ranges might be +/-10, +/-5, +/-1, 0-1, 0-5, 0-10, etc. When you specify a minimum and maximum value, NI-DAQ uses that information to select the most appropriate range. So, in your case, if the board supports 0-2 volts, that is the range that will be selected and that's the value to use for resolution. If the DAQ board does not have a 0-2 range and only has a 0-5 range, then you need to use this number.
