Table 2 illustrates the accessories available from NI USB-9219. The NI USB-9219 has four 6-terminal connectors that provide connections for four analog input channels. Connect the positive signal of the signal source to the positive input signal terminal (HI) and the negative signal of the signal source to the negative input signal terminal (LO).
You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to the NI USB-9219. If you make a floating connection between the signal source and the NI USB-9219, make sure the voltages on the positive and negative connections are within the channel-to-earth working voltage range to ensure proper operation of the NI USB-9219.

The ADC and excitation circuits are reconfigured in each mode to accommodate each type of sensor. Refer to Figure 10 for an illustration of the input circuitry for one channel of the NI USB-9219. Voltage and Current Modes In Voltage and Current modes, connect the signal source to the NI USB-9219 across the HI and LO terminals.

2-Wire Resistance and Quarter-Bridge Modes In 2-Wire Resistance and Quarter-Bridge modes, connect the two ends of the resistor or gauge to the NI USB-9219 across the HI and LO terminals. These modes source a current, which varies based on the resistance of the load, between the HI and LO terminals.
Each channel has a built-in thermistor for cold-junction compensation (CJC) calculations. For improved CJC sensor accuracy, operate the NI USB-9219 in a stable temperature environment and avoid placing heat sources near the module or its connectors.
