PXIe-4304/4305 and TB-4304

32 Ch, 24-bit, 5 kS/s or 51.2 kS/s Simultaneous Filtered Data 
Acquisition Module

This document explains how to install, configure, and set up the NI PXIe-4304 and 
NI PXIe-4305 (NI PXIe-4304/4305) simultaneous filtered modules with the NI TB-4304 
terminal block.  Driver support for the NI PXIe-4304/4305 was first available in 
NI-DAQmx 15.1.1. For the list of devices supported by a specific release, refer to the 

NI-DAQmx Readme

, available on the version-specific download page or installation media.

Note

The keying of these terminal blocks prevents them from connecting to other 

modules that could be damaged by the voltage present on the terminal block. 
However, you should only use these terminal blocks with their supported modules.
