Getting Started

The NI PXIe-4302/4303 provides 32 simultaneously sampled filtered analog input channels. 
The NI PXIe-4302 can operate at sample rates up to 5 kS/s/ch and the NI PXIe-4303 can operate 
at sample rates up to 51.2 kS/s/ch. These modules can measure an analog voltage up to 10 V 
when using the TB-4302 and can measure 20 mA current signals when using the TB-4302C. 
Each channel has a 24-bit ADC and selectable digital filters to reject out-of-band noise.

Installation

Refer to the 

NI PXIe-4302/4303 and TB-4302/4302C User Guide and Terminal Block
