Hello all,
I would like to use the built in amplifier of a DAQ device. I am currently using the NI 9206 for example but I may change it in the future.
What I would like to know is how to read the possible gains in the datasheets, in order for me to select my hardware correctly.
I've read that by defining the min/max input range, the gain is selected automatically.
What I am not clear about, is how to know the gain and how can I confirm the signal was really amplified.

The above article has a very specified table of what I need to know, but is it true to all DAQ?
For example, in the datasheet of the NI 9206 that I have it says that the input range is: ±200mV, ±1V, ±5V, ±10V.
So, if I select the ±200mV range (by setting min/max inputs), automatically my gain is 25? (from the table in the link above)
Is there any way to confirm it?
Any additional info and tips on this topic are highly appriciated as well!
Thanks in advance,
Vlad
