Analog Input

The NI PXIe-7868R provides connections for six AI channels. Each channel has an AI+ pin,

AI- pin, and AIGND pin to which you can connect both single-ended or differential voltage

signals. Use the AISENSE pin to connect non-referenced single-ended signals.

Connecting Single-Ended Voltage Signals

To connect referenced single-ended voltage signals to the NI PXIe-7868R, you must connect

the voltage ground signal to AI GND in order to keep the common-mode voltage in the

specified range.

Connecting Differential Voltage Signals

You can connect grounded or floating differential signal sources to the NI PXIe-7868R.

Connect the positive voltage signal to the AI+ and the negative voltage signal to AI-. To

connect grounded differential signals to the NI PXIe-7868R, you must also connect the signal

reference to AI GND.

To connect floating differential signals to the NI PXIe-7868R, you must connect the negative

common-mode voltage range. If the voltage source is outside the common-mode voltage

range, the NI PXIe-7868R does not read data accurately.

Analog Output

The NI PXIe-7868R provides connections for eighteen analog output channels. Each channel

has an AO pin and AOGND pin to which you can connect a load.

Digital I/O

The NI PXIe-7868R provides connections for 48 digital input/output (DIO) channels.

Connector 0 contains 16 low-speed channels that can run up to 10 MHz signal frequencies and

Connector 1 contains 32 high-speed DIO channels that can run up to 80 MHz signal

frequencies. Each connector has a fixed logic level of 3.3 V. You can configure each channel

as input or output.

The DIO channels connect to the FPGA through buffers, which have overvoltage and

undervoltage protection as well as over current protection. Refer to the device specifications

on ni.com/manuals for more information about the maximum voltage and current.

When the system powers on, the DIO channels are set as input low with pull-down resistors.

To set another power-on state, you can configure the NI PXIe-7868R to load a VI when the

system powers on. The VI can then set the DIO lines to any power-on state. Visit ni.com/info

and enter RSeries_PowerUpStates to learn more about configuring the power-up states

for the NI PXIe-7868R.

All the high-speed DIO channels on Connector 1 are routed with a 50 Ω characteristic trace

impedance. Route all external circuitry with a similar impedance to ensure best signal quality.

NI recommends performing signal integrity measurements to test the affect of signal routing

with the cable and connection accessory for your application.

Field Wiring Considerations

Environmental noise can seriously affect the measurement accuracy of the device if you do not

take proper care when running signal wire between signal sources and the device. The

following recommendations mainly apply to AI signal routing to the device, as well as signal

routing in general.

Take the following precautions to minimize noise pickup and maximize measurement

accuracy:

• Use differential AI connections to reject common-mode noise.

• Use individually shielded, twisted-pair wires to connect AI signals to the device. With

this type of wire, the signal attached to the positive and negative inputs are twisted

together and then covered with a shield. You then connect this shield only at one point to

the signal source ground. This kind of connection is required for signals traveling through

areas with large magnetic fields or high electromagnetic interference.

• Route signals to the device carefully. Keep cabling away from noise sources, such as

video monitors and analog signals.

Use the following recommendations for all signal connections to the NI PXIe-7868R:

• Separate NI PXIe-7868R signal lines from high-current or high-voltage lines. These lines

can induce currents in or voltages on the NI PXIe-7868R signal lines if they run in

parallel paths at a close distance. To reduce the magnetic coupling between lines, separate

them by a reasonable distance if they run in parallel or run the lines at right angles to each

other.

• Do not run signal lines through conduits that also contain power lines.

• Protect signal lines from magnetic fields caused by electric motors, welding equipment,

breakers, or transformers by running them through special metal conduits.

+5 V Power Source

Use the +5 V terminals on the I/O connector supply +5 V referenced to DGND to power

external circuitry.

Caution Never connect the +5 V power terminals to analog or digital ground or

any other voltage source on the NI PXIe-7868R or any other device. Doing so can

damage the device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for damage

resulting from such a connection.

The power rating is 4.75 to 5.1 V DC at 0.5 A.
