SCC-AI Series Isolated Analog
Input Modules
The SCC-AI Series isolated analog input modules (SCC-AIXX) can extract
a relatively low-amplitude input signal from a high-common-mode voltage
so the E Series DAQ device can measure the input signal. They also can
amplify and filter the input signal, resulting in higher measurement
resolution and accuracy.
SCC-AIXX modules are available in a range of gains from 0.2 to 200. They
contain lowpass filters of either 10 kHz or 4 Hz bandwidth. Table 1-1 gives
the gain and bandwidth for each module.
