Caution
Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings for input signals on
the NI 4472 can damage the device, the computer, and the associated accessories.
National Instruments is
not
liable for any damage resulting from such signal connections.
The front panel of the NI 4472 has nine SMB male connectors for attaching
signal inputs.
The EXT TRIG connector is the input for the PFI0/EXT_TRIG signal.
Triggers cannot be output from the EXT TRIG connector. The EXT TRIG
line is compatible with TTL and CMOS voltage levels.
CH<0..7> are analog input channels 0 through 7. Input impedance on the
positive (signal) wire of each input channel is 1 M
Ω
in parallel with 60 pF
to ground. Input impedance on the negative (shield) wire is 50
Ω
in parallel
with 0.02 µF to ground. The signal line of each analog input channel circuit
