NI 9234 Datasheet
CompactRIO
CompactRIO combines an open-embedded architecture
with small size, extreme ruggedness, and C Series
modules in a platform powered by the NI LabVIEW
reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture. Each system
contains an FPGA for custom timing, triggering, and
processing with a wide array of available modular I/O to
meet any embedded application requirement.
CompactDAQ
CompactDAQ is a portable, rugged data acquisition platform
that integrates connectivity, data acquisition, and signal
conditioning into modular I/O for directly interfacing to any
sensor or signal. Using CompactDAQ with LabVIEW, you
can easily customize how you acquire, analyze, visualize,
and manage your measurement data.

NI 9234
The NI 9234 analog input channels are referenced to chassis ground through a 50 Ω resistor.
To minimize ground noise, make sure the chassis ground is connected to earth ground. Each
channel is protected from overvoltages.
AC/DC Coupling
You can configure each channel in software for AC or DC coupling. For channels set to AC
coupling, you can turn the IEPE excitation current on or off. Refer to your software help for
more information about configuring AC/DC coupling and enabling excitation current.

NI 9234 Datasheet
Filtering
The NI 9234 uses a combination of analog and digital filtering to provide an accurate
representation of in-band signals and reject out-of-band signals. The filters discriminate
between signals based on the frequency range, or bandwidth, of the signal. The three important
bandwidths to consider are the passband, the stopband, and the anti-imaging bandwidth.
The NI 9234 represents signals within the passband, as quantified primarily by passband ripple
and phase nonlinearity. All signals that appear in the alias-free bandwidth are either unaliased
signals or signals that have been filtered by at least the amount of the stopband rejection.
Passband
The signals within the passband have frequency-dependent gain or attenuation. The small
amount of variation in gain with respect to frequency is called the passband flatness. The
digital filters of the NI 9234 adjust the frequency range of the passband to match the data rate.
Therefore, the amount of gain or attenuation at a given frequency depends on the data rate.

Frequency/Data Rate
Stopband
The filter significantly attenuates all signals above the stopband frequency. The primary goal
of the filter is to prevent aliasing. Therefore, the stopband frequency scales precisely with the
data rate. The stopband rejection is the minimum amount of attenuation applied by the filter to
all signals with frequencies within the stopband.
Alias-Free Bandwidth
Any signals that appear in the alias-free bandwidth are not aliased artifacts of signals at a
higher frequency. The alias-free bandwidth is defined by the ability of the filter to reject
frequencies above the stopband frequency. The alias-free bandwidth is equal to the data rate
minus the stopband frequency.

Data Rates
The frequency of a master timebase (fM) controls the data rate (fs) of the NI 9234. The NI 9234
includes an internal master timebase with a frequency of 13.1072 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 9234 with other modules that use master timebases to control sampling, all
of the modules must share a single master timebase source.
The following equation provides the available data rates of the NI 9234:
where n is any integer from 1 to 31.
�� =
�� ÷ 256
�
However, the data rate must remain within the appropriate data rate range. When using the
internal master timebase of 13.1072 MHz, the result is data rates of 51.2 kS/s, 25.6 kS/s,
17.067 kS/s, and so on down to 1.652 kS/s, depending on the value of n. When using an
external timebase with a frequency other than 13.1072 MHz, the NI 9234 has a different set of
data rates.
Note The NI 9151 R Series Expansion chassis does not support sharing timebases
between modules.
NI 9234 Specifications
The following specifications are typical for the range -40 °C to 70 °C unless otherwise noted.
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with
shielded cables and accessories.
Caution Do not operate the NI 9234 in a manner not specified in this document.
Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection
built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product is
damaged, return it to NI for repair.

Physical Characteristics
If you need to clean the module, wipe it with a dry towel.
Weight
173 g (6.1 oz)
Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are within the following limits:
Channel-to-earth ground
±30 V maximum, Measurement Category I
Isolation
Channel-to-channel
None
Channel-to-earth ground
None
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to
the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live
electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages
from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels,
special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated lowvoltage sources, and electronics.
Caution Do not connect the NI 9234 to signals or use for measurements within
Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
