Table 1. Module Compatibility
Overview
The NI SCXI-1520 is an 8-channel universal strain gauge input module
that offers all of the features you need for simple or advanced strain
measurements. With this single module, you can read signals from strain
gauges, force sensors, torque sensors, and load cells. Each SCXI-1520 is
shipped with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, and includes an on-
board reference for automatic calibration.
For simple strain measurements, the SCXI-1520 offers a
programmable amplifier and programmable 4-pole Butterworth filter
on each channel. Each channel also has an independent 0-10 V
programmable excitation source. In addition, the SCXI-1520 system
offers a half-bridge completion resistor network in the module, and a
socketed 350 quarter-bridge completion resistor in the SCXI-1314
terminal block. A 120 quarter-bridge completion resistor is also
included with the terminal block.
For more advanced applications, the SCXI-1520 also offers an
automatic null compensation circuit, remote sensing, and two shunt
calibration circuits per channel. In addition, the SCXI-1520 includes
track-and-hold circuitry for simultaneous sampling applications.
Each SCXI-1520 module multiplexes its signals into a single channel
of the controlling DAQ device, and you can add modules to increase
channel count. The SCXI-1520 also offers parallel-mode operation for
higher-speed scanning applications.
Analog Input
The eight analog inputs of the SCXI-1520
universal strain input module consist of
programmable instrumentation amplifiers,
4-pole Butterworth filters, and track-and-
hold circuitry. You can program the gain of each channel individually to
one of 48 input ranges from ±10 mV to ±10 V. You can program each
lowpass filter individually for 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, or bypass
mode. The 4-pole Butterworth filters provide a sharp cutoff to block
noise while maintaining maximum flatness in the passband. Finally, the
SCXI-1520 implements random scanning, so you acquire data from only
the channels you select, thereby reducing your overall scan times. For
applications requiring fewer than eight strain gauges, you can use the
extra analog input channels for general-purpose analog signals.
scxi1520
Simultaneous Sampling
Each channel of the SCXI-1520 includes track-and-hold circuitry so you
can digitize simultaneous events with negligible skew time between
channels. The outputs of the T/H amplifiers follow their inputs until they
receive a hold signal from the DAQ device (typically at the start of a scan).
At the hold signal, the T/H amplifiers simultaneously freeze, holding the
input signal levels constant. The DAQ device then digitizes each frozen
signal sequentially, giving you simultaneous sampling between channels.

Excitation
Each channel of the SCXI-1520 universal strain gauge input module
has an independent voltage excitation source. You can program each
excitation channel to one of 17 voltage excitation levels from 0 to 10 V.
These sources can drive a 350 full bridge to the maximum 10 V
level. Each excitation channel incorporates remote sensing circuitry to
compensate for voltage drops due to lead resistance. This circuitry
boosts the excitation level so the programmed excitation level is
applied at the sensor. You can also monitor these excitation sources to
detect open or fault situations.
to zero in seconds. You do not need to manually adjust a
potentiometer. By removing this offset through the measurement
hardware, you can increase your system gain to achieve better
measurement sensitivity and resolution.
Bridge Completion
The SCXI-1520 universal strain gauge input module accepts quarter,
half, and full-bridge sensors. Half-bridge completion is provided in the
SCXI-1520 module, and you can enable it through software. The
RN-55 style quarter-bridge completion resistors are provided in the
SCXI-1314 front-mounting terminal block. They are socketed, so you
can replace them with your own resistors.

SCXI Universal Strain Gauge
Input Module
and located in the SCXI-1314 front-mounting terminal block. You
enable or disable the shunt resistors through software commands.
using simple software
commands, you perform
calibrations to compensate for
environmental changes
without connecting external
hardware. Each module has
an onboard calibration
EEPROM that stores
calibration constants for each
channel; factory calibration
constants are stored in a
protected area of the
EEPROM. Additional user-
modifiable locations mean
calibration can occur under
your exact operating
conditions. NI-DAQ driver
software transparently uses the calibration constants to correct for gain
and offset errors for each channel.
Multiplexer Operation
In multiplexed mode, the SCXI-1520 multiplexes all eight conditioned
input signals onto channel MCH0 of the rear signal connector, which
you can connect to a single input channel of the DAQ device.
Furthermore, you can connect the multiplexed output of each
module using programmable switches to analog bus 0 of the SCXIbus
and to other modules. Up to 96 SCXI modules can operate in this
manner with a single DAQ device.
Each module also has an internal counter and FIFO for the high-
speed automatic scanning mode with any E Series digitizer. You may
scan channels in any order, as a scan clock signal from the DAQ device
synchronizes the scanning. To determine the allowable scanning rate,
total the following
• SCXI-1520 acquisition time (7 µs for 12-bit accuracy)
• SCXI system scan interval (3 µs with a PCI-MIO-16E-1)
multiplied by the number of channels minus one.
For example, you can scan 16 channels of two SCXI-1520 modules
with the PCI-MIO-16E-1 in 7µs + 3µs(16-1) = 52 µs or 19.23 kHz.
Reduce Thermal Drift
Although you can connect
to a quarter bridge using
two wires, using three wires
eliminates temperature-
induced offset drift in the
wiring. The SCXI-1520
hardware manual discusses
methods of minimizing
temperature-related errors.

Signal Connection
You connect your sensors to the SCXI-1520 module using the
SCXI-1314 front-mounting terminal block. Each channel includes 11
screw terminals - two for input signal, two for excitation, two for
remote sensing, one for quarter-bridge completion, and four for two
independent shunt calibration circuits.
Calibration
The SCXI-1520 provides simple yet powerful calibration capabilities.
Each module includes a precision onboard calibration source, which
you can programmatically route to any analog input channel. By
