Connect adxl001 mems accelerometer to NI 4497 PXI-e card

[raffa.cap]

Hi everyone,

i'm currently using the NI 4497 PXI card to acquire from pcb ICP accelerometer.

Is it possible to connect the adxl001 mems accelerometer to the pxi-4497 card (see link)?

Should i connect its analog output to the 4497 with bnc connection and use external power supply?

Thank You

Hi raffa.cap,
since the supply voltage of the accelerometer can rise up to 6V, I don't think there should be problems connecting sensor output with an NI 4497 input. According the manual,This PXI board allow to acquire signals with a voltage up to 10V.

If you want to use the BNC connector, this is the component you need:

- NI SHB4X-8BNC -> http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/204002
