CompactRIO 8-Channel, 24-Bit Quarter-Bridge Analog Input Module
You can use an FPGA I/O Node, configured for reading, with this device.
![]() |
Note You can synchronize an NI 9236 module with other modules that have a selectable timebase source. |
Use the FPGA I/O Node to access the following terminals for this device.
Terminal | Description |
---|---|
AIx | Analog input channel x, where x is the number of the channel. The NI 9236 has AI channels 0 to 7. Do not access AI channels on multiple modules in the same FPGA I/O Node if the modules are not synchronized or do not use the same data rate. |
Onboard Clock | 12.8 MHz internal clock of the NI 9236. Use the FPGA I/O Node in a single-cycle Timed Loop to access this channel. You must export the Onboard Clock of the NI 9236 to access this channel. |
Start | Channel that controls when the NI 9236 starts acquiring data. If TRUE is written to the Start channel, the NI 9236 starts acquiring data. When the NI 9236 is acquiring data, you must write TRUE to the Stop channel before you can access properties for the module. If FALSE is written to the Start channel, no operation is performed.
Refer to the NI 9236 Getting Started VI in the labview\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 9236\NI 9236 Getting Started\NI 9236 Getting Started.lvproj for an example of using the Start and Stop channels. |
Stop | Channel that controls when the NI 9236 stops acquiring data. If TRUE is written to the Stop channel, the NI 9236 stops acquiring data. When the NI 9236 is acquiring data, you must write TRUE to the Stop channel before you can access properties for the module. If FALSE is written to the Stop channel, no operation is performed.
Refer to the NI 9236 Getting Started VI in the labview\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 9236\NI 9236 Getting Started\NI 9236 Getting Started.lvproj for an example of using the Start and Stop channels. |
This device supports only the Arbitrate if Multiple Requestors Only option for arbitration. You cannot configure arbitration settings for this device.
This device does not support any methods.
Use the FPGA I/O Property Node to access the following I/O properties for this device.
Property | Description |
---|---|
LSB Weight | Returns the LSB weight in units of 100 fV/V per LSB for the channel. 100 fV is equal to 10-13 volts. Use this value to convert and calibrate NI 9236 data if you set the Calibration Mode to Raw in the C Series Module Properties dialog box. |
Offset | Returns the calibration offset in units of 100 nV/V for the channel. Use this value to convert and calibrate NI 9236 data if you set the Calibration Mode to Raw in the C Series Module Properties dialog box. |
Shunt Cal Enable | Controls the shunt calibration switch for each channel.
Refer to the NI 9236 Getting Started VI in the labview\examples\CompactRIO\Module Specific\NI 9236\NI 9236 Getting Started\NI 9236 Getting Started.lvproj for an example of using the Shunt Cal Enable property. |
Use the FPGA I/O Property Node to access the following module properties for this device.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Data Rate | Sets the rate at which the NI 9236 acquires data. |
Module ID | Returns the module ID, 0x732B. |
Serial Number | Returns the unique serial number of the module. |
Vendor ID | Returns the NI vendor ID, 0x1093. |
You can use the Onboard Clock channel in the single-cycle Timed Loop. You cannot use the other channels on the NI 9236 with the single-cycle Timed Loop. Refer to the Understanding Loop Timing (FPGA Interface) topic for information about loop timing for this module.
