Stacking Grooves and Rubber Standoffs for Desktop Use Mounting the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series Device You can mount the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series device using a 75 mm DIN-Rail kit or a panel mount kit. For kit accessory ordering information, refer to the accessory section of the NI WLS/ENET-9163 product page at ni.com. Caution Your installation must meet the following requirements: • Allows 25.4 mm (1 in.
Attaching the NI 9910 DIN-Rail The NI 9910 DIN-Rail kit contains one clip for mounting the device on a standard 35 mm DIN-Rail. To mount the device on a DIN-Rail, fasten the DIN-Rail clip to the device using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and four M4 × 17 screws. The screws are included in the DIN-Rail kit. Make sure the DIN-Rail kit is installed as illustrated in Figure 4, with the larger lip of the DIN-RAIL positioned up.
Mounting the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series to a Panel Thread inserts are located in the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series device for mounting it to a panel. Refer to Figure 5 for dimensions. 6.500 in. (165.10 mm) Figure 5. Device Panel Mounting Dimensions Remove the C Series I/O module from the NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier before you mount the carrier to the panel. After the NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier is mounted, you can reinsert the C Series module.
Setting Up the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series Device Complete the following steps to prepare the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series device for use: 1. Before connecting the hardware, install NI-DAQmx software, LabVIEW SignalExpress, and the NI-DAQ Device Documentation Browser.

Ethernet Connector Pinout Using the NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series Device C Series I/0 Modules National Instruments C Series I/O modules provide built-in signal conditioning and screw terminal, spring terminal, BNC, D-SUB, or RJ-50 connectors. A wide variety of I/O types are available, allowing you to customize the your system to meet your application needs. You can swap C Series modules when the NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier is plugged in.
Analog Input To perform analog input measurements, insert a supported analog input C Series I/O module into the NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier. The measurement specifications, such as number of channels, channel configuration, sample rate, and gain, are determined by the type of C Series I/O module used. For more information and wiring diagrams, refer to the documentation included with your C Series I/O modules.
The NI-DAQmx Help is available after installation from Start» Programs» National Instruments»NI-DAQ»NI-DAQmx Help. To view the LabVIEW Help, in version 8.0 or later, select Help»Search the LabVIEW Help in LabVIEW. Alternately, to download the LabVIEW Help, go to ni.com/manuals. You also can specify whether the measurement acquisition begins on the rising edge or falling edge of ai/StartTrigger. Routing AI Start Trigger to an Output Terminal You can route ai/StartTrigger to the PFI 0 terminal.
When the reference trigger occurs, the NI WLS/NET-9163 Series device continues to write samples to the buffer until the buffer contains the number of posttrigger samples desired. Figure 10 shows the final buffer. Reference Trigger Pretrigger Samples Posttrigger Samples Complete Buffer Figure 10. Reference Trigger Final Buffer Using a Digital Source To use ai/ReferenceTrigger with a digital source, specify a source and an edge. PFI 0 can provide the source.
Note Pause triggers are only sensitive to the level of the source, not the edge. Analog Input Timing Signal AI Sample Clock A sample consists of one reading from each channel in the AI task. ai/SampleClock signals the start of a sample of all analog input channels in the task. ai/SampleClock can be generated from external or internal sources. Using A Digital Source To use ai/SampleClock, specify a source and an edge on PFI 1.
Simultaneous Sample-and-Hold Simultaneous sample-and-hold (SSH) C Series analog input modules contain multiple A/D converters or circuitry that allows all the input channels to be sampled at the same time. These modules sample their inputs on every AI Sample Clock pulse. Sigma-Delta Sigma-Delta C Series analog input modules function much like SSH modules, but use A/D converters that require a high-frequency oversample clock to produce accurate, synchronized data.
