The NI SCXI-1104 is a 32-channel differential analog input module engineered for medium-voltage signal conditioning within National Instruments’ SCXI chassis ecosystem. It delivers 16-bit resolution across all channels, each equipped with a divide-by-10 attenuator stage and three-pole low-pass filter. The module multiplexes all 32 channels to a single output, enabling expanded channel density in DAQ systems. Input protection circuitry safeguards against overvoltage events up to ±60 V on the SCXI-1104/C variant.
