Theory of Operation
The section includes a brief overview and a detailed discussion of the
circuit features of the module. The two major modes of operation,
multiplexed and parallel mode, are discussed. Refer to Figure 4-1 while
reading this section.

SCXI-1125 Block Diagram
Gain
The SCXI-1125 has 12 different gain settings, from 1 to 2000, enabling
signal ranges ±5 V to ±2.5 mV. When the SCXI-1125 is used with a
terminal block that provides attenuation, the input range expands up to
1000 V. Refer to Appendix A,
for a full list of input ranges.
