Chapter 4 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration
Determining Module
Update Time
The module update time is defined as the time required for the module to
sample and convert the input signals of all enabled input channels and provide
the resulting data values to the processor. The module sequentially samples the
channels in a continuous loop as shown below.
Module Update Sequence
Module update time is dependent on the number of input channels enabled,
input filter selection, and whether or not a calibration or lead wire
compensation sequence is in progress.
The fastest module update time occurs when only one channel is enabled with
a 1 kHz filter, with autocalibration and cyclic lead compensation disabled. If
more than one channel is enabled, the update time is faster if all channels use
the fastest filter, as shown in example 1 below. The slowest module update
time occurs when all six channels are enabled with the 10Hz filter.
The following table shows the channel update times for all filter frequencies
assuming that no calibration or lead wire compensation is in progress.
