VII. Usage and Maintenance Instructions

Installation and power-on

Disconnect power, insert PXI single slot, chassis reliably grounded; power on, NI-DAQmx self-checks.

Keep the operating temperature within 0~55℃, keep the air duct unobstructed.

Wiring and operation For analog input, use shielded cables and differential wiring to suppress common-mode interference; the input voltage should not exceed ±10 V.

The 100-pin interface is not suitable for long-term insertion and removal; it is recommended to be connected with a wiring box as a transition.

When multiple modules are synchronized, share the PXI trigger bus and 10 MHz reference.

Daily maintenance and calibration

It is recommended to conduct a traceability calibration once a year to compensate for gain/offset drift.

Keep the interface clean; cover it with a dust-proof cover when not in use; avoid strong vibrations and humid environments.

Perform anti-static operations to prevent static damage to the input circuit.
