Is a voltage output on SCXI 1531 possible

Hi there. Is it possible to use an accelerometer which needs a 5 V DC input on a SCXI-1531? It´s an ADXL05EM-3 accelerometer from analog devices. In the official manuals there are just outputs mentioned but my tasker said the setup should work somehow. But I´m not convinced.

My other setup is a SCXI-1000, SCXI-1520, SCXI-1540 and a SCXI-1600.

I´m new to all of this and I´m not very into it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi!

I guess you mean inputs?! The card can supply a excitation current, but not a voltage.
