How do I get a 100 V 100 Hz signal into a NI PCI-6111 analog input?

I have a 100 volt 100 Hz signal that I want to bring in on NI PCI-6111 analog input (+/- 5V input). Is there some small off the shelf transformer or other type of signal conditioning I should use? Basically I just need to time stamp other analog inputs with this one coming on.

The PCI-6111 has a built in attenuator to allow up to 42V inputs. In order to read 100 volts you will have to use some sort an external attenuator. National Instruments offers several different modules and terminal blocks in the SCXI form that would accomplish this.

I would recommend reading through this KB for more information.

I hope this helps.
