Data Acquisition Processors have programmable gain settings. You can configure these settings as you configure your input channel selection.

By default, DAPlog configures all input channels to single-ended operation with a gain of 1. To apply a gain to low-level signals before conversion, select a higher level of gain for the Data Acquisition Processor programmable gain amplifiers.

The following shows a configuration in which a gain of 10 is applied to the first single-ended channel; this gain will be applied to the other 15 channels.

Multiple channels configured with gain 10
