Will the NI 6143 Work with all SCXI Modules?

Hardware: Multifunction DAQ (MIO)>>S Series>>PCI-6143, SCXI

Problem: The NI 6143 has a voltage range of +/- 5V. Will this work with SCXI modules that have a +/- 10 V range?

Solution:
Some analog input SCXI modules have an output range of +/-10V, so when these SCXI modules are connected in parallel mode with the NI 6143, which has a maximum input range of +/-5V, the maximum input range of these modules will be limited to +-5V instead of the full +/-10V. The following SCXI modules will work in NI-DAQmx with the NI 6143, but their maximum input range will be limited to +/-5V:
  • SCXI-1140
  • SCXI-1520
  • SCXI-1530
  • SCXI-1531


The following analog input SCXI modules support parallel mode and will maintain full functionality when used with the NI 6143.
  • SCXI-1120
  • SCXI-1120D
  • SCXI-1121
  • SCXI-1125
  • SCXI-1126
  • SCXI-1141
  • SCXI-1142
  • SCXI-1143
  • SCXI-1540

For more information, please consult the specific SCXI Module User Manual or the Getting Started with SCXI Manual that is linked below.
