NI cDAQ-9174

[hsimpson]

Is there a way to hook up a triple axis analog input accelerometer to NI 9228 module without having three separate grounds (one for each axis)?

Hola hsimpson,

Just curious,

Why not use the NI-9234, is also simultaneous inputs, however only 4, is faster and better suited for accelerometers?

Saludos.

We already have the 9228 and would like to make that work.  We also have multiple sensors other than the two accelerometers such as a rotary potentiometer, and several load cells, so we need as many inputs as we can get.

Hi hsimpson,

From what I can tell, there doesn't look to be a way to what you asked for initially with this card.

Best,

I believe the question I asked may have been confusing or poorly worded since I am not experienced with electronics, but we have found a work around thank you.
