This document explains how to install, configure, and set up the PXIe-4310 module with the
TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) terminal block. Driver support for the PXIe-4310 was first
available in NI-DAQmx 17.1. For the list of devices supported by a specific release, refer to the
NI-DAQmx Readme, available on the version-specific download page or installation media.

Note The keying of this terminal block prevents it from connecting to other

modules that could be damaged by the voltage present on the terminal block.
However, you should only use these terminal blocks with their supported modules.

Caution Do not supply hazardous voltages (>30 V

Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines

This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These requirements
and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is
operated in the intended operational electromagnetic environment.

This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful interference may
occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a peripheral device or test object,
or if the product is used in residential or commercial areas. To minimize interference with radio
and television reception and prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this
product in strict accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.

Furthermore, any modifications to the product not expressly approved by National Instruments
could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

2 | ni.com | PXIe-4310 and TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V)

Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with

shielded cables and shielded accessories. Use only twisted, shielded pair cables
(Belden 83319 or equivalent) for channel connections. Refer to the PXIe-4310 User
Manual for specific guidance on terminating cable shields.

Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Voltages

If hazardous voltages are connected to the module, take the following precautions. A hazardous
voltage is a voltage greater than 42.4 Vpk or 60 VDC to earth ground.

Caution Ensure that hazardous voltage wiring is performed only by qualified

personnel adhering to local electrical standards.

Caution You must install mating connectors according to local safety codes and

standards and according to the specifications provided by the manufacturer. You are
responsible for verifying the safety compliance of third-party connectors and their
usage according to the relevant standard(s), including UL and CSA in North America
and IEC and VDE in Europe.

Caution Make sure that devices and circuits connected to the module are properly

insulated from human contact.

Caution When module terminals are hazardous voltage

LIVE (>42.4 Vpk/60 VDC), you must ensure that devices and circuits connected to
the module are properly insulated from human contact.

Caution Do not mix hazardous voltage circuits and human-accessible circuits on

the same module.

Ensure that the following software is installed before installing the PXIe-4310 and
TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) hardware:

1. Your application software, such as LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, or .NET.

2. NI-DAQmx—PXIe-4310 modules were first supported in NI-DAQmx 17.1.

Note For detailed NI software version support, refer to the NI-DAQmx Readme.

Back up any applications before upgrading software or modifying the application.

Unpack and Install the Module

Remove the packaging and inspect the module. Contact NI if the module is damaged. Do not
install a damaged module.

Caution The module is static sensitive. Always properly ground yourself and the

equipment when handling or connecting to the module.

Complete the following steps to install the PXIe-4310 module while referring to Figures 1 and 2:

Note To maintain forced air cooling in the PXI Express system, refer to the

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users.

1. Plug in your chassis before installing the PXIe-4310. The power cord grounds the chassis

and protects it from electrical damage while you install the module.

2. Make sure the chassis is powered off.

Confirm PXIe-4310 Module Recognition

To confirm module recognition, complete the following steps:

1. Power on the system.

2. Launch MAX.

3. Expand Devices and Interfaces, and expand the chassis in which the module is located to
confirm that MAX detects the module and terminal block. The terminal block should
appear beneath its associated module. If your module or terminal block is not listed, press
<F5> to refresh MAX. If the module is still not recognized, go to

Tip Using an NI-DAQmx simulated device, you can test NI-DAQmx applications

without installing hardware. Refer to the Create a Simulated Device section for
instructions for creating NI-DAQmx simulated devices.

4. Right-click the module name and select Self-Test. When the self-test completes, a
verification message appears. If an error occurs, refer to ni.com/support/daqmx.

Device Self-Calibration

NI recommends that you self-calibrate your PXIe-4310 module after installation and whenever
the ambient temperature changes. Self-calibration should be performed after the device has
warmed up for the recommended time period. Refer to the device specifications to find your
device warm-up time. This function measures the onboard reference voltage of the device and
adjusts the self-calibration constants to account for any errors caused by short-term fluctuations
in the environment.

You can initiate self-calibration using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), by
completing the following steps:

1. Launch MAX.

2. Select My System»Devices and Interfaces»your device.

3. Initiate self-calibration using one of the following methods:

• Select the PXIe-4310 in the MAX configuration tree and click the Self-Calibrate

button located on the MAX toolbar.

• Right-click the name of the device in the MAX configuration tree and select

Self-Calibrate from the drop-down menu.

Note You can also programmatically self-calibrate your device with NI-DAQmx,

as described in Device Calibration in the NI-DAQmx Help or the LabVIEW Help.

AI Typical Accuracy Equation

Random Noise * 3

10000

--------------------------------------------

10.3 mV * 3

10000

------------------------------ -

Accuracy = Reading * (GainError) + Range * (Offset Error) + Self Heating + Noise Uncertainty

Gain Error = Residual Gain Error + Gain Tempco * (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) +
Reference Tempco * (TempChangeFromLastExternalCal)

Offset Error = Residual Offset Error + Offset Tempco *
(TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + INL_Error

Self Heating = If Reading > 120 V, Self-Heating * (Reading - 120 V), otherwise 0.

Noise Uncertainty = for a coverage factor of 3 σ

and averaging 10000 points.

Typical Accuracy Example

Accuracy at full scale is determined using the following assumptions:

• TempChangeFromLastExternalCal = 10 °C

• TempChangeFromLastInternalCal = 1°C

• Number_of_readings = 10000

• CoverageFactor = 3 σ

For example, on the 600 V range, the accuracy at full scale is as follows:

Gain Error = 335 ppm + 15 ppm * 1 °C + 5 ppm * 10 °C = 400 ppm

Offset Error = 16 ppm + 9 ppm * 1 °C + 51 ppm = 76 ppm

Self Heating = 26 µV/V * (600 V - 120 V) = 12.48 mV

Noise Uncertainty = = 309 µV

Typical Accuracy = 600 V * (Gain Error) + 600 V * (Offset Error) + Self Heating +
Noise Uncertainty = 298 mV

Safety Standards

This product meets the requirements of the following standards of safety for electrical equipment
for measurement, control, and laboratory use:

• IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1

• UL 61010-1, CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1

Note For UL and other safety certifications, refer to the product label or the Online

Product Certification section.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

This product meets the requirements of the following EMC standards for electrical equipment
for measurement, control, and laboratory use:

• EN 61326-1 (IEC 61326-1): Class A emissions; Basic immunity

• EN 55011 (CISPR 11): Group 1, Class A emissions

Measurement Categories CAT I and CAT O are equivalent. These test and measurement circuits are not

intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II,
CAT III, or CAT IV. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment.
Measurement Category O is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits,
such as signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated
low-voltage sources, and electronics.

Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical
distribution system. This category refers to local-level electrical distribution, such as that provided by a
standard wall outlet, for example, 120 V for U.S. or 240 V for Europe.
