About the NI PXI-4224
This chapter provides an introduction to the NI PXI-4224 device and its
installation.
The NI PXI-4224 is part of the NI PXI-4200 series of data acquisition
(DAQ) devices with integrated signal conditioning. The PXI-4200 series
reduces measurement setup and configuration complexity by integrating
signal conditioning and DAQ on the same product.
The NI PXI-4224 is an 8-channel isolated analog input device with a ±10 V
input range. It allows isolated analog measurements directly on the PXI
platform.
The NI PXI-4224 has the following characteristics:
• Each channel has a gain of either 1 or 10.
• An isolation rating of 42.4 V
peak
or 60 VDC, Category I.
• The front connector is a 25-pin D-SUB connector, with 16 pins for
analog input.
Signal connections are made through a TB-2725 terminal block that
provides connections for all eight analog input channels. You can
optionally connect a standard 25-pin D-SUB cable to the device and cable
it as needed for your application.
Note Go to ni.com/products to determine if newly developed terminal blocks are
available.
You can configure most settings on a per-channel basis through software.
The NI PXI-4224 is configured using Measurement & Automation
Explorer (MAX) or through function calls to NI-DAQmx.
Note The NI PXI-4224 is supported in NI-DAQmx only.
