How Do I Specify the Input Terminal Mode For C Series Modules When Using the CompactRIO?

Hardware: CompactRIO>>Analog Input Modules

Problem:
I want to take differential measurements from a C Series analog input module using the cRIO. How do I define the input terminal mode to be either Differential, RSE, or NRSE?

Solution:
Most of the C Series modules only support one input measurement mode.  Two modules that can support multiple input configurations are the NI 9205 and NI 9206.  To configure the input mode in your project, right click the module in your project and select Properties.


Then in the new window that opens, select your desired input mode from the Terminal Mode drop down menu.



To configure the input mode programmatically in LabVIEW FPGA, use the FPGA IO Method Node. The picture below shows how the input mode is specified with the FPGA IO Method Node.
