Connecting an NI data aquisition card to accelerometers

[ssteel]

I got an NI PCI-6010 card which I have set in the computer and I want to connect the connecting block that came with it ( https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.cb-37f-lp.html ) to a signal conditioning box and power supply for three accelerometers. I have 3 wires, one for each accelerometer and an earthed cable. I want to know which holes I should connect these wires to on the connector box?

Cheers,

Sam

Hi Sam,

You can access the pinouts for your device from the NI-DAQmx Device Terminals help file that is installed with DAQmx.  A quick way to access this file with the exact pinout you need is from Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).  In MAX under Devices and Interfaces, right-click on your device and select Device Pinouts.  This will open the help document, as well as go directly to the pinout diagrams for that particular device.

Also page 3 of the manual provides some further information on connecting the signals.https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/371538a/resource/371538a.pdf

I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,
