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.

  • Page 15 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.
