FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Are the PXI-6238 analog inputs voltage or current inputs?

They are eight differential current inputs, not the eight single-ended or four differential inputs stated in the legacy catalog description.

Which chassis slots can accept the PXI-6238?

NI specifies PXI slots or PXI Express hybrid slots.

Does analog output require external power?

Yes. The analog outputs require a user-provided 10–30 VDC supply.
