Accessories
This section describes the accessories available for the PXIe-4310 module.
TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) Accessory
The TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4300 (600V) terminal blocks provide screw terminal connectivity for
the PXIe-4310. The TB-4310 (600V) provides 60x attenuation to the input signal voltage to
expand the input range of the PXIe-4310 to 600V.
•
The TB-4310 (10V) is strictly a voltage feedthrough terminal block.
•
The TB-4310 (600V) provides 60x attenuation to the voltage with additional high-voltage
protection circuitry and expands the range of the PXIe-4310 to 600 V.
Refer to the
PXIe-4310 and TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) Getting Started Guide and
Terminal Block Specifications
for more information about the TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V)
terminal block accessories.
Scaling constants for the TB-4310 (600V) are stored in the EEPROM and are used by the
software to automatically apply scaling to the signal for the selected range.
Accessory Auto-Detection
SC Express modules automatically detect compatible accessories or terminal blocks. The RSVD
pins on the I/O connector provide power to the accessories as well as digital communication
lines. This allows software to detect when accessories are inserted or removed. In addition,
software can automatically identify the specific terminal block as well as access any calibration
or scaling information associated with the terminal block.
MAX allows you to see which accessories are currently connected to your module. In MAX,
expand
Devices and Interfaces
and locate your module. If a terminal block is connected to your
module, it will be displayed beneath the module. Unsupported terminal blocks appear in MAX
with an X next to them.
NI-DAQmx property nodes can be used to programmatically access information about
connected accessories in your application. Refer to the
NI-DAQmx Help
for documentation
about programmatically accessing accessory status.
