NI 9213 (Scan Interface)
CompactRIO 16-Channel, ±78 mV, 24-Bit Thermocouple 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 units as specified on the C Series Module Properties dialog box.
Module Channels
The NI 9213 has the following channels.
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| AIx | Analog input channel x, where x is the number of the channel. For the NI 9213, x is 0 to 15. |
C Series Module Properties Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to configure the NI 9213. Right-click the NI 9213 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.
- Conversion Time—Determines the time it takes to acquire one point of data from one or more channels. You can select High Speed or High Resolution. Refer to the NI 9213 Operating Instructions and Specifications for more information about the High Speed and High Resolution conversion times.
- Channels—Specifies the channel(s) for which you want to configure settings.
- Thermocouple Type—Specifies the type of thermocouple connected to the channel.
- Measurement Units—Specifies the units you want data to be returned in for the channel. You can select Raw Volts, Degrees Kelvin, Degrees Celsius, Degrees Fahrenheit, or Degrees Rankine.
