4 Ch, 24-bit, 25.6 kS/s Simultaneous AC LVDT Input Module

This document explains how to install, configure, and set up the NI PXIe-4340 LVDT and RVDT 
module with the TB-4340 terminal block.  Driver support for the PXIe-4340 was first available 
in NI-DAQmx 15.5. 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.
