This document describes how to use the National Instruments 9244 and includes specifications and pin assignments for the NI 9244. The safety guidelines and specifications in this Note document are specific to the NI 9244. The other components in the system might not meet the same safety ratings and specifications.
/60 VDC), you must ensure that devices and circuits connected to the module are properly insulated from human contact. You must use the NI 9969 connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are not accessible. 4 | ni.com | NI 9244 User Manual and Specifications...
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations The NI 9244 is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous locations; Class I, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4, and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and nonhazardous locations only.
-40 °C ≤ Ta ≤ 70 °C. If you are using the NI 9244 in Gas Group IIC hazardous locations, you must use the device in an NI chassis that has been evaluated as Ex nC IIC T4, EEx nC IIC T4, Ex nA IIC T4, or Ex nL IIC T4 equipment.
Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by National Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules. 8 | ni.com | NI 9244 User Manual and Specifications...

Understanding NI 9244 Filtering The NI 9244 uses a combination of analog and digital filtering to provide an accurate representation of in-band signals while rejecting out-of-band signals. The filters discriminate between signals based on the frequency range, or bandwidth, of the signal.
12.8 MHz, but the module also can accept an external master timebase or export its own master timebase. To synchronize the data rate of an NI 9244 with other modules that use master timebases to control sampling, all of the modules must share a single master timebase source.

16.667 kS/s, and so on down to 1.613 kS/s, depending on the value of n. When using an external timebase with a frequency other than 12.8 MHz, the NI 9244 has a different set of data rates. The NI 9151 R Series Expansion chassis does not Note support sharing timebases between modules.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does in normal mode. Related Information Power Requirements 32 | ni.com | NI 9244 User Manual and Specifications...
