The connector pins are grouped into AI signal pins, AO signal pins, DIO
signal pins, TIO signal pins, and power connections. Signal connection
guidelines for each group is described in the following sections.
Connecting Analog Input Signals
Pins 1 through 8 are analog input signal pins for the 12-bit ADC. Pin 9,
AISENSE/AIGND, is an analog common signal. You can use this pin as a
signal ground connection to the DAQCard-1200 in RSE mode or as a return
path in NRSE mode. Pin 11, AGND, is the bias current return point for
differential measurements. Pins 1 through 8 are tied, through 4.7 k
Ω
series
resistances, to the eight single-ended AI channels of the input multiplexer.
Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8 are also tied to an input multiplexer for DIFF mode.
The signal ranges for inputs ACH<0..7> at all possible gains are shown in
Table 3-2. Exceeding the input signal range does not damage the input
circuitry as long as the maximum input voltage rating of ±35 V powered on
and ±25 V powered off is not exceeded. The DAQCard-1200 is guaranteed
to withstand inputs up to the maximum input voltage rating.
Caution
Exceeding the input signal range distorts input signals. Exceeding the maximum
input voltage rating may damage the DAQCard-1200 and the computer. NI is
not
liable for
damage resulting from such signal connections.
