I am using NI 9229 on SbRio to measure current from current clamp, the current clamp read amp AC and produce out put in DC voltage.
NI 9229 reading +-60V is it DC voltage or AC voltage or doesn't matter???
also what setting for 9229 on Sbrio required to read correct value in voltage??

+/- 60V means that you could measure up to +60V and down to -60V (all these are DC as AC does not have a sign). Now, given you know it can measure +/-60V DC, the equivalent is it can measure 60Vpk or 42.42Vrms AC.
When measuring AC, you capture a waveform a fixed duration and compute the RMS in the software, since you capture waveforms, you can do a lot more than just compute RMS such as offset, THD etc.,
