Floating Signal Connection Referenced to Chassis Ground
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. The CJSENSOR signal is measured relative to CGND.
Pins A3 and A4 are connected within the VXI-SC-1102 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.
Warning: Exceeding the overvoltage protection on the CJSENSOR input can damage
the VXI-SC-1102, the VXIbus, and the VXI-MIO board. National
Instruments is
NOT
liable for any damages or injuries resulting from such
signal connections.
