The NI SCXI-1322 is a front-mount terminal block that interfaces directly with the SCXI-1122 module, providing 48 screw terminals for field wiring connections in signal conditioning and data acquisition systems. It delivers isothermal construction for precision thermocouple measurements with onboard cold-junction compensation, shielded enclosure design to minimize signal noise, and strain-relief clamps for secure wire connections. The terminal block accommodates 16 pairs of input channels and 7 pairs of excitation channels, with configurable VEX/SENSE terminals for remote sensing applications including heavy-load strain-gauge half-bridge circuits.
