Overview
delivers ±42 V overvoltage protection and per-channel lowpass, antialiasing
filters. An NI 4351 device features software-selectable ground referencing
on a channel-by-channel basis, so you can measure both floating and groundreferenced signals together; it also features per-channel open-thermocouple
detection. When open-thermocouple detection is enabled, the input channel is
connected to +2.5 VDC through a 10 MΩ resistor. When a thermocouple breaks
The NI PCI-4351 and PXI-4351 are precision computer-based digitizers designed
or is disconnected, the reading rapidly increases to 100 mV or more, indicating
specifically for high-accuracy temperature measurements (thermocouples,
an open-circuit condition.
RTDs, thermistors), resistance measurements, chromatography measurements,
and low-frequency analog signal measurements within ±15 V. Available for
PCI and PXI/CompactPCI, these devices feature ±0.42 °C, J-type thermocouple
accuracy; ±0.12 °C RTD accuracy; ±0.03 °C thermistor accuracy; 5½-digit voltage
measurements; power line noise rejection filters; and precision current source
for RTD and thermistor excitation. NI 4351 devices combine the functionality
Precision Current Excitation
These devices feature a 25 μA precision current source for excitation
of RTDs, thermistors, or other resistive devices. The source excites the total
system resistance of up to 600 kΩ. An NI 4351 also features an additional
1 mA precision current source for RTDs or other resistive devices for total system
of stand-alone temperature and voltage meters and chromatographs with
resistance of up to 15 kΩ.

computer-based data-logging systems. As with all computer-based digitizers,
NI 4351 devices can easily integrate into your Internet-based applications.
Hardware
Precision Analog Input
NI 4351 devices have 16 differential analog inputs. Each device has a 24-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and six possible reading rates – 10, 50, and
60 readings/s in single-channel acquisition mode and 2.8, 8.8, and 9.7 total
readings/s in multiple-channel acquisition mode. For channel speed, divide the
total readings/s by the number of channels acquired. Digital filters automatically
An NI 4351 has eight 5 V/TTL digital lines. You can individually configure each
line as an input or an output. You can use the lines as general-purpose digital I/O
or as control lines for alarms. Each line sinks or sources 8 mA. With the TBX-68T
or CB-68T, you can increase the sinking and sourcing capability of these digital
lines to 64 and 15 mA, respectively. With digital signal conditioning accessories,
such as the ER-8, SSR Series, and the SC-206x, you can use an NI 4351 to
control relays and drive optically isolated digital I/O.
