Voltage Source – NI 9201/9221 Figure 4. Connecting a Single-Ended Voltage Signal to the NI 9201/9221 You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure Note connection when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal on the NI 9201/9221 with screw terminal.
Wiring for High-Vibration Applications If an application using the NI 9201/9221 with screw terminal is subject to high vibration, National Instruments recommends that you either use ferrules to terminate wires to the detachable screw-terminal connector or use the NI 9932 backshell kit to protect the connections.
