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.

CompactRIO
CompactRIO combines an open-embedded architecture
with small size, extreme ruggedness, and C Series
modules in a platform powered by the NI LabVIEW
reconfigurable I/O (RIO) architecture. Each system
contains an FPGA for custom timing, triggering, and
processing with a wide array of available modular I/O to
meet any embedded application requirement.

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.

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

4 | ni.com | NI 9230 Datasheet


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 9230 represents signals within the passband, as quantified primarily by passband ripple
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 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.

NI 9230 Datasheet | © National Instruments | 5


Internal Master Timebase
The NI 9230 includes an internal master timebase with a frequency of 13.1072 MHz. When
using the internal master timebase, the result is data rates of 12.8 kS/s, 11.38 kS/s, 10.24 kS/s,
9.31 kS/s, and so on down to 0.98 kS/s, depending on the decimation rate and the value of the
clock divider. However, the data rate must remain within the appropriate data rate range.
The following equation provides the available data rates 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.

External Master Timebase


The NI 9230 also can accept an external master timebase or export its own master timebase.
To synchronize the data rate of an NI 9230 with other modules that use master timebases to
control sampling, all of the modules must share a single master timebase source. When using
an external timebase with a frequency other than 13.1072 MHz, the NI 9230 has a different set
of data rates. Refer to the software help for information about configuring the master timebase
source for the NI 9230.
Note The NI 9151 R Series Expansion chassis does not support sharing timebases
between modules.
