National Instruments SCXI-1121 and SCXI-1122 are designed for a
wide variety of sensor and signal inputs requiring isolation. The
SCXI-1121 offers independently configurable isolation amplifiers,
filters, and excitation sources for each channel. The SCXI-1122 offers a
single isolation amplifier, filter, and excitation source for all channels.

current input signals. Both modules can multiplex their channels into
a single channel of the DAQ device, and you add modules to increase
channel count. The SCXI-1121 also offers parallel-mode operation.
The SCXI-1122 consists of 16 relay multiplexers that route the input
channels to a single isolated instrumentation amplifier and lowpass
filter. You can program all inputs together for a range of ±5 mV to
±250 V. You can program the lowpass filter setting for all input
channels for either 4 Hz or 4 kHz. With this architecture, you are
limited to a maximum sampling rate of 100 S/s for the 4 kHz filter
setting, and 1 S/s for the 4 Hz filter setting. This module also offers

independently using jumpers for input ranges of ±2.5 mV to ±5 V. The
input range for each channel can be extended to ±250 VDC/±250
VAC with the SCXI-1327 terminal block. Each channel also includes a
lowpass filter that you can configure using jumpers for 4 Hz or 10 kHz.
Each channel offers transducer-specific features such as cold-junction
and current excitation source with remote sensing. You can configure
the SCXI-1122 for 4-wire scanning mode, accepting up to eight 5 kΩ
devices. You can also connect up to 16 devices in series. Each channel
is individually isolated with a working common-mode voltage of 250
