I don't foresee any problems with those specs. Note: the SCXI-1531 comes with BNC front connectors, so you will need a BNC connector from your accelerometer to connect to the SCXI-1531.

I'm trying to collect data from 7 EpiSensor ES-U2 accelerometers simultaneously with the SCXI 1531 module. I received the accelerometers from the USGS with seven stripped wires coming out of each one and need to somehow connect those into the BNC connections on the SCXI 1531. Does anyone know how to go about this? Do all 7 of those wires even need to go into each BNC connector?
