pxi 5122 sample resolution vs bit width

Solved!
Go to solution

So I know that if you set your sample bit width to 16-bit you get an actual resolution of 14 bits meaning 2 bits are not used.  My question is which bits these are in the context of the entire memory space of the sample.  In other words, are the 2 unused bits MSB or LSB?

Hi JoeSchmoe,

 

The 2 unused bits are LSB.
