You can connect a quarter-bridge sensor to each channel. Each channel has an EXC terminal that provides the excitation voltage stimulus, an AI terminal that measures the bridge voltage, and an RC terminal that provides the quarter-bridge completion. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of how to connect quarter-bridge sensors to the NI 9235/9236.

NI 9235/9236 Circuitry The NI 9235/9236 is isolated from earth ground. However, the individual channels are not isolated from each other. The EXC terminals all connect internally to a common excitation supply. You must connect each EXC terminal to only one gage to maintain the channel-to-channel crosstalk performance of the module. Each channel on the NI 9235/9236 has an independent 24-bit ADC and input amplifier that enables you to sample signals from all eight channels simultaneously. Re

Quarter-bridge measurements are inherently sensitive to accuracy degradation due to the lead resistance of wiring from the sensor to the measurement device. For a given change in the gage resistance, the total effective resistance changes slightly less. Accordingly, the measured mV/V reading is less than its true value. However, you can use shunt calibration to quantify the lead wire desensitization, and can then design the software application to correct subsequent readings for this gain

Shunt calibration simulates strain input by changing the resistance of an arm in the bridge by a known amount. By shunting, or connecting, a large resistor across one arm of the bridge, a specific change occurs in the bridge voltage ratio. With the connected sensor in a stable, typically unloaded, state, you can measure the output of the bridge before and after the shunt calibration. You can compare the measured reading change to the shunt calibration output value to verify system setup o

Understanding NI 9235/9236 Filtering The NI 9235/9236 uses a combination of analog and digital filtering to provide an accurate representation of in-band signals while rejecting out-of-band signals. The filters discriminate between signals based on the frequency range, or bandwidth, of the signal. The three important bandwidths to consider are the passband, the stopband, and the alias-free bandwidth. The NI 9235/9236 represents signals within the passband, as quantified primarily by passba

Stopband The filter significantly attenuates all signals above the stopband frequency. The primary goal of the filter is to prevent aliasing. Therefore, the stopband frequency scales precisely with the data rate. The stopband rejection is the minimum amount of attenuation applied by the filter to all signals with frequencies within the stopband. Alias-Free Bandwidth Any signal that appears in the alias-free bandwidth of the NI 9235/9236 is not an aliased artifact of signals at a higher fr
