Driver Software
Overview and Applications
The National Instruments PXI-4204 module delivers accurate data
acquisition for input ranges up to 100 V. With this module you can
handle a broad variety of applications including:
• 42 V automotive applications
• High-voltage, multichannel data logging applications
• Fuel cell and battery test applications
Features
The NI PXI-4204 is a full-featured data acquisition module with a
±100 V input range, 16-bit accuracy, and software-selectable filter
and gain settings per channel. Programmable filter and gain settings
ensure that the PXI-4204 achieves maximum accuracy over the
entire ±100 V input range. In addition, the PXI-4204 is designed to
work with LabVIEW 7 Express and NI-DAQmx. The DAQ Assistant
in LabVIEW 7 can configure the PXI-4204 and acquire data through
a menu-based window, eliminating the need to manually program
the device.

conditioning hardware. Visit ni.com/sigcon
NI-DAQ 7 is the robust driver software included with all
National Instruments data acquisition and signal conditioning
products. This easy-to-use software tightly integrates the full
functionality of your DAQ hardware to LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI,
and Measurement Studio for Visual Studio.NET. High-performance
features include multidevice synchronization, networked
measurements, and DMA data management. Bundled with
NI-DAQ 7, the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) utility
simplifies the configuration of your measurement hardware with
device test panels, interactive measurements, and scaled I/O
channels. NI-DAQ also provides numerous example programs for
LabVIEW and other application development environments to get
you started with your application quickly.
