Cold-Junction Sensor Connection

Pins A3 and A4 (CJSENSOR) connect the temperature sensor located
on the National Instruments VXI-TB Series terminal block to the
VXI-SC-1102/B/C. The CJSENSOR signal is measured relative to
CGND. Pins A3 and A4 are connected together within the
VXI-SC-1102/B/C so the position of the MTEMP/DTEMP switch on
the VXI-TB Series terminal block does not matter. The input is
overvoltage-protected to 15 VDC with the power on and off.

Caution:

Exceeding the overvoltage protection on the CJSENSOR input can damage
the VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodule, the VXIbus, and the VXI-MIO board.
