The NI SCXI-1120D is an 8-channel isolation amplifier module that conditions and electrically isolates analog signals in high-voltage or noisy industrial environments. It protects measurement equipment and enhances signal integrity by mitigating noise and ground loops, offering 250 Vrms working isolation per channel and support for voltage, millivolt, current, and thermocouple input signals.
