I/O Connector
You can connect analog input signals to the M Series device through the I/O
connector. The proper way to connect analog input signals is outlined in the
Connecting Analog Current Input Signals section. Also refer to
Appendix A, Device-Specific Information, for device I/O connector
pinouts.
MUX
Each M Series device has one analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
multiplexers (MUX) route one AI channel at a time to the ADC through the
NI-PGIA.
Instrumentation Amplifier (NI-PGIA)
The NI programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA) is a
measurement and instrument class amplifier that minimizes settling times
