GETTING STARTED GUIDE AND TERMINAL BLOCK 
SPECIFICATIONS

PXIe-4310 and 
TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V)

8-channel, 16-bit, 400 kS/s/ch, Ch-Ch Isolated Analog Input Module

This document explains how to install, configure, and set up the PXIe-4310 module with the 
TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) terminal block. Driver support for the PXIe-4310 was first 
available in NI-DAQmx 17.1. 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 this terminal block prevents it 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.

Caution

Do not supply hazardous voltages (>30 V

rms

/42.4 V

pk

/60 VDC) to the 

terminal block without the terminal block being connected to the PXIe-4310.

Caution

This icon denotes a caution, which advises you of precautions to take to 

avoid injury, data loss, or a system crash.
