Instrumentation Laboratory Exercise 35

When you have finished these steps your program should look like

this:

This DAQ has 16- bit resolution, but the data is transferred as 8- bit

bytes. The data in the array V

is read as two bytes with the Least

Significant Byte (LSB) first, and the Most Significant Byte (MSB)

second. This byte order needs to be reversed. Additionally the data

has been converted to the twos complement sign format. To convert

the array back into a usable form you can perform a byte swapping

procedure, and simultaneously remove the twos complement offset.
