The NI SCXI-1162 is a 32-channel digital input module for TTL and CMOS signal acquisition in industrial and laboratory settings. Each bank of four input lines features optical isolation rated to 300 Vrms, with 2,300 Vrms transient overvoltage protection to eliminate ground loop interference and noise coupling. The module integrates directly into SCXI chassis systems and connects to National Instruments data acquisition boards via SCXIbus or rear signal connectors, supporting both serial and parallel data transmission modes.
