Using the Internal Half-Bridge Completion
Your SCXI-1121 includes half-bridge completion for half-bridge
and quarter-bridge setups. The completion network consists of
two 4.5 k
Ω
± 0.05% ratio tolerance resistors with a temperature coefficient
of 5 ppm/°C. These resistors are connected in series. To enable the
network, you must set two jumpers for each input/excitation channel pair.
When the completion network is enabled, you cannot access the negative
input of the amplifier, which preserves the overvoltage protection of the
channel. Table 2-9 shows how to enable and disable the completion
network.
Note When using the half-bridge completion network with a quarter-bridge setup, you
must use an extra resistor to complete the bridge. Place this resistor on the terminal block
between the positive input channel and the negative excitation output.
