2.4.3 Sample rate vs. effective resolution
sampling rate effective resolution(*附 1) note
1 ~ 4Ksps 21bit The higher the sampling rate, the
4K~15Ksps 20bit higher the noise of the ADC and
15k~35Ksps 19bit the surrounding internal devices,
35k~64Ksps 17bit and the lower the effective
64k~100Ksps 16bit resolution (*Note2).
Shenzhen Vkinging Electronics Co.,Ltd www.vkinging.com
Attachment 1: Effective resolution is a characteristic of all ADCs: the last few bits of the ADC bounce back and
forth, and the bits that don't bounce before them are the effective bits.
The bouncing bits are not random but normally distributed, so when using digital filtering can reflect the
significance of the actual physical resolution of 24 bits.
Attachment 2: Signal acquisition should take into account both the ADC noise floor and the sampling rate
corresponding to the effective resolution.
3. caveat
3.1 Ground is divided into digital and analogue ground
Input ports 1~6 are digital (including AOUT output) and 7~16 are analogue ports. When in use, the digital
inputs and AOUT outputs, should be used in conjunction with the digital ground (DGND), while the ADC
acquisition terminal is used in conjunction with the analogue ground (AGND), so as to avoid digital interference
from the digital inputs to the analogue inputs.
3.2 Differential mode of ADC input
The differential input division method is the least noisy input method and can effectively suppress all kinds of
common mode interference. However, care must be taken to provide the correct input loop to the input. The
correct common ground is the first step in ensuring the input loop.
Shenzhen Vkinging Electronics Co.,Ltd www.vkinging.com
If the inputs do not share a common ground, you can refer to the following way to create an input
return path.
3.3 Application of single-ended input for ADC input
When the input is a single signal terminal input, the negative end of the differential input must be grounded.
When this capture card is used to capture non-differential signals, it can also perform well with a high
rejection ratio, and can eliminate the noise introduced by the ground line very well.
Shenzhen Vkinging Electronics Co.,Ltd www.vkinging.com
3.4 Application of digital ports as inputs
When the capture card is used as an input, its internal pull-up resistor can be used more conveniently.
Shenzhen Vkinging Electronics Co.,Ltd www.vkinging.com
3.5 Key Input Use
When the capture card is used as an input, its internal pull-up resistor can be more convenient to use (* All
earth wires in the diagram must be connected otherwise no loop can be formed)
3.6 Uses internal 5V power supply to power sensor inputs
When the capture card is used as an input, its internal pull-up resistor can be used more conveniently.
Shenzhen Vkinging Electronics Co.,Ltd www.vkinging.com
3.7 Any digital port can be connected to a digital temperature
sensor.
Any digital port of the acquisition card can be equipped with an 18B20 digital temperature sensor to read out the
temperature value directly, and the cable length of the digital temperature sensor can be up to 5 metres.
3.8 Digital port for digital temperature and humidity sensors
(SI7021 only)
3.9 Measurement of strong interference signals
When the input signal is strong and carries interference, the interference can cause USB communication to be
disconnected. This can be measured in the following way:
Increase the input buffer resistor (*Common ground between the computer and the source of interference, the
interference signal does not pass through the USB cable, thus ensuring stable communication)
Shenzhen Vkinging Electronics Co.,Ltd www.vkinging.com
*Industrial applications: We do not recommend the use of USB type acquisition card in high demand
industrial applications, because USB is mainly designed for convenience. Highly demanding industrial
applications we recommend the use of LAN network port type, with strong anti-interference ability, can be
transmitted over long distances to control the advantages of detailed reference to our official website.

3.11 Input port to IEPE sensor
When connecting the IEPE sensor, connect AIN- and AGND together as the negative input and AIN+ as the
positive input.
Power status indicator (next to USB port)
Acquisition status indicator (red and blue two-in-one LED)
1、Red and blue LED lights are all off state: normal acquisition is in progress
2 、 Blue light flashes non-stop: indicates that the sampling stop state, waiting for a new
command to restart sampling, standby state
3, the red light will flash a little: is being collected if the sampling data overflow, or data
errors
4、Red light is always on: indicates that the data can not be sent, or USB failure.
