NI C Series Overview
NI provides more than 100 C Series modules for measurement, control, and communication
applications. C Series modules can connect to any sensor or bus and allow for high-accuracy
measurements that meet the demands of advanced data acquisition and control applications.
• Measurement-specific signal conditioning that connects to an array of sensors and signals
• Isolation options such as bank-to-bank, channel-to-channel, and channel-to-earth ground
• -40 °C to 70 °C temperature range to meet a variety of application and environmental
needs
• Hot-swappable
The majority of C Series modules are supported in both CompactRIO and CompactDAQ
platforms and you can move modules from one platform to the other with no modification.
CompactDAQ
CompactDAQ is a portable, rugged data acquisition platform
that integrates connectivity, data acquisition, and signal
conditioning into modular I/O for directly interfacing to any
sensor or signal. Using CompactDAQ with LabVIEW, you
can easily customize how you acquire, analyze, visualize,
and manage your measurement data.
Software
LabVIEW Professional Development System for Windows
Circuitry
The NI 9230 analog input channels are referenced to an isolated ground through a 50 Ω
resistor. Each channel is protected from overvoltages. The input signal on each channel is
buffered, conditioned, and then sampled by an isolated 24-bit Delta-Sigma ADC. You can
configure each channel in software for AC or DC coupling. For channels set to AC coupling,
you can turn the IEPE excitation current on or off. Refer to the software help for information
about configuring channels on the NI 9230.

Filtering
The NI 9230 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
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 9230 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.

Frequency/Data Rate
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 9230 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.
Data Rates
The frequency of a master timebase (fM) controls the data rate (fs) of the NI 9230.
��
�� = 2 × � × �
where
fs is the data rate
fM is the master timebase
m is the decimation rate
n is the clock divider from 2 to 26
For m = 64, n = 9 to 25. For m = 128, n = 5 to 25. For m = 256, n = 2 to 26.
There are multiple combinations of clock divider and decimation rate that yield the same data
rate. The software always picks the highest decimation rate for the selected data rate.
