Caution When module terminals are hazardous voltage
LIVE (>42.4Vpk/60 VDC), you must ensure that devices
and circuits connected to the module are properly
insulated from human contact. You must use the NI 9971
connector backshell kit to ensure that the terminals are
not accessible.

The NI 9229/9239 has four 2-terminal detachable screw-terminal
connectors.
Note You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure
connection when connecting more than one wire to a
single terminal on the NI 9229/9239.
You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to
the NI 9229/9239. Connect the positive signal of the signal source
to the AI+ terminal or connector, and connect the negative signal
of the signal source to the AI– terminal or connector. If you make
a ground-referenced connection between the signal source and the
NI 9229/9239, make sure the voltage on the AI+ and AI–
connections are in the channel-to-earth safety voltage range to
ensure proper operation of the NI 9229/9239. Refer to the
Specifications section for more information about operating
voltages and overvoltage protection. Refer to Figures 3 and 4 for
illustrations of how to connect grounded and floating signal
sources to the NI 9229/9239.

The NI 9229/9239 analog input channels are floating with respect
to earth ground and each other. The incoming analog signal on each
channel is conditioned, buffered, and then sampled by a 24-bit
Delta-Sigma ADC.
Each channel provides an independent signal path and ADC,
enabling you to sample all four channels simultaneously. Refer to

Wiring for High-Vibration Applications
If an application is subject to high vibration, National Instruments
recommends that you either use ferrules to terminate wires to the
detachable screw-terminal connector or use the NI 9971 backshell
kit to protect the connections. Refer to Figure 6 for an illustration
of using ferrules. Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the
NI 9971 connector backshell.

Understanding NI 9229/9239 Filtering
The NI 9229/9239 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 9229/9239 represents signals within the passband, as
quantified primarily by passband flatness and phase nonlinearity.
All signals that appear in the alias-free bandwidth are either
unaliased signals or signals that have been filtered by at least the
amount of the stopband rejection.
Passband
The signals within the passband have frequency-dependent gain or
attenuation. The small amount of variation in gain with respect to
frequency is called the passband flatness. The digital filters of the
NI 9229/9239 adjust the frequency range of the passband to match
the data rate. Therefore, the amount of gain or attenuation at a
given frequency depends on the data rate. Figure 7 shows typical
passband flatness for the NI 9229/9239.

ni.com
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 9229/9239 is not an aliased artifact of signals at a higher
frequency. The alias-free bandwidth is defined by the ability of the
filter to reject frequencies above the stopband frequency and equals
the data rate minus the stopband frequency.
Understanding NI 9229/9239 Data Rates
The frequency of a master timebase (fM) controls the data rate (fs)
of the NI 9229/9239. The NI 9229/9239 includes an internal master
timebase with a frequency of 12.8 MHz, but the module also can
accept an external master timebase or export its own master
timebase. To synchronize the data rate of an NI 9229/9239 with
other modules that use master timebases to control sampling, all of
© National Instruments Corp.
15
NI9229/9239
the modules must share a single master timebase source. Refer to
the software help for information about configuring the master
timebase source for the NI 9229/9239. Visit ni.com/info and
enter cseriesdoc for information about C Series documentation.
The following equation provides the available data rates of the
NI 9229/9239:
f
÷ 256
n
--M------------------
fs =
where n is any integer from 1 to 31.
However, the data rate must remain within the appropriate data rate
range. Refer to the Specifications section for more information
about the data rate range. When using the internal master timebase
of 12.8 MHz, the result is data rates of 50 kS/s, 25 kS/s, 16.67 kS/s,
and so on down to 1.613 kS/s, depending on the value of n. When
using an external timebase with a frequency other than 12.8 MHz,
the NI 9229/9239 has a different set of data rates.
Note The cRIO-9151 R Series Expansion chassis does
not support sharing timebases between modules.

Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
