    Mode Voltage Make sure the voltage on the AI- shell is in the common-mode range to ensure proper operation of the NI 9234. The AI- shell is protected against accidental contact with overvoltages within the overvoltage protection range. Related Information...
  • Page 13: Common-Mode Bias Current

    Common-Mode Bias Current The NI 9234 uses common-mode bias current to bias the current- limiting diodes when IEPE current is turned off. When the NI 9234 is using grounded signal sources, this current causes an error that is dependent on the AI- lead impedance. This error is approximately 50 ppm of range and 15 ppm of reading per ohm of AI- impedance.
  • Page 14: Iepe Excitation Current

    Current NI 9234 IEPE Excitation Current The NI 9234 can also provide an IEPE excitation current for each channel to measure ground-referenced or floating IEPE sensors. Typical IEPE sensors have a case that is electrically isolated from the IEPE electronics, so connecting the sensor to the NI 9234 results in a floating connection even though the case of the sensor is grounded.
