Connecting the NI 9227E

The NI 9227E has four 2-terminal detachable screw-terminal

connectors that provide connections for four simultaneously

sampled, isolated analog input channels.

You can connect ground-referenced or floating current sources to

the NI 9227E. Connect the positive side of the current source to the

AI+ terminal, and connect the negative side of the current source to

the AI– terminal. If you make a ground-referenced connection

between the current source and the NI 9227E, 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 9227E.

Refer to the Specifications section for more information about

operating voltages.

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 9227E.

Refer to Figures 3 and 4 for illustrations of how to connect

grounded and floating current sources to the NI 9227E.

The NI 9227E 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 Figure 5 for an illustration of the circuitry for one channel of

the NI 9227E.

Understanding NI 9227E Filtering

The NI 9227E 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 9227E 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 9227E 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 6 shows typical

passband flatness for the NI 9227E.

NI 9227E Operating Instructions and Specifications 10 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 9227E 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 it is equal to

the data rate minus the stopband frequency.

Understanding NI 9227E Data Rates

The frequency of a master timebase ( fM) controls the data rate ( fs)

of the NI 9227E. The NI 9227E 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 9227E with other

modules that use master timebases to control sampling, all of the
