Pinouts for PCI 6034E with CB-68LP

[Gorman]

I am using a PCI 6034E card with CB-68LP on a computer with Windows 2000 and LabVIEW 7.1.  I downloaded the user manual for the PCI 6034E from NI website and it should be attached.  In differential mode I am trying to figure out the correct pinouts so that I can get AI0 to AI15 as shown on page 11 of the manual.  I have managed to get all of the AI's on the right of the diagram to match correctly.  Which means the following

AI0 : 68 and 34

AI9 : 66 and 32

AI2 : 65 and 31

AI11 : 63 and 29

AI12 : 61 and 27

AI5 : 60 and 26

AI14 : 58 and 24

AI7: 57 and 23

I can not get the rest which corresponds to the left of the diagram.  Am I reading this diagram incorrectly?  What am I doing wrong and/or how do I wire with a thermocouple to get AI0 to AI15.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

William,

If I understand your post correctly you are attempting to wire up analog input channels 0 to 15 to take differential readings.  To wire the device up in differential mode, the analog input channels of your device are paired together.  Channels 0 through 7 are paired with channels 8 through 15 to give you 8 differential channels.  So to wire a signal into differential channel 0, you would wire signal(+) to pin 68 (ai0) and signal(-) to pin 34(ai8).  Channel 1 is paired with channel 9 and so on.

If you need to use more than 8 channels (which from your post I got the idea that you did) you will not be able to use differential mode measurements with this device.  If all the signals you are measuring share common ground, you could use Referenced Single Ended mode, in which each signal is measured against AI GND or Non-Referenced Single Ended Mode in which each signal is measured against AI SENSE.

Hope this helps,

Dan
