Getting Started
The NI PXIe-4330/4331 provides eight simultaneously sampled input channels for
interfacing to strain-gage bridges and other Wheatstone-bridge based sensors. These modules
have 24-bit resolution and support the following sample rates:
•
NI PXIe-4330—up to 25.6 kS/s
•
NI PXIe-4331—up to 102.4 kS/s
You can configure all settings on a per channel basis in software. The channels support the
following features:
•
Connecting sensors of all bridge configurations, including quarter-, half-, and
full-bridge.
•
Setting the DC voltage excitation between 0.625 V and 10 V.
•
Selecting 120

quarter-bridge completion resistors.
•
Programmable bridge offset null and shunt calibration.
•
Analog and digital filtering to reject out-of-band signals.
•
Remote sense of bridge excitation.
