NI 9205 (Scan Interface)
CompactRIO 32-Channel Single-Ended/16-Channel Differential, ±200 mV to ±10 V, 16-Bit Analog Input Module
Module I/O Variables
To use I/O from this module in a VI, drag and drop I/O variables from the Project Explorer window to the block diagram of the VI. The I/O variables for the channels return calibrated floating-point data in volts.
Module Channels
The NI 9205 has the following channels.
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| AIx | Analog input channel x, where x is the number of the channel. For the NI 9205, x is 0 to 31. |
C Series Module Properties Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to configure the NI 9205. Right-click the NI 9205 in the Project Explorer window and select Properties to display this dialog box. You can configure the following options.
- Name—Specifies the name of the C Series module, which appears in the Project Explorer window. LabVIEW assigns a default name to the module based on the slot number. You can use this field to give the module a descriptive name.
- Module Type—Specifies the type of C Series module. You cannot change this value.
- Location—Specifies a slot in the chassis for the C Series module.
- Channel Configuration—You can specify the input range for each channel.
- Channels—Specifies the channel(s) for which you want to select the input range.
- Input Range—Specifies the input range for the selected channel(s) as ±10 V, ±5 V, ±1 V, or ±200 mV.
- Terminal Mode—Specifies the terminal mode for the selected channel(s) as RSE (referenced single-ended), NRSE (nonreferenced single-ended), or DIFF (differential).
