Analog Input
The NI PXIe-7867R provides connections for six AI channels. Each channel has an AI+ pin,
AI- pin, and AIGND pin to which you can connect both single-ended or differential voltage
signals. Use the AISENSE pin to connect non-referenced single-ended signals.
Connecting Single-Ended Voltage Signals
To connect referenced single-ended voltage signals to the NI PXIe-7867R, you must connect
the voltage ground signal to AI GND in order to keep the common-mode voltage in the
specified range.

Connecting Differential Voltage Signals
You can connect grounded or floating differential signal sources to the NI PXIe-7867R.
Connect the positive voltage signal to the AI+ and the negative voltage signal to AI-. To
connect grounded differential signals to the NI PXIe-7867R, you must also connect the signal
reference to AI GND.

To connect floating differential signals to the NI PXIe-7867R, you must connect the negative

common-mode voltage range. If the voltage source is outside the common-mode voltage
range, the NI PXIe-7867R does not read data accurately.

Digital I/O
The NI PXIe-7867R provides connections for 48 digital input/output (DIO) channels.
Connector 0 contains 16 low-speed channels that can run up to 10 MHz signal frequencies and
Connector 1 contains 32 high-speed DIO channels that can run up to 80 MHz signal
frequencies. Each connector has a fixed logic level of 3.3 V. You can configure each channel
as input or output.

The DIO channels connect to the FPGA through buffers, which have overvoltage and
undervoltage protection as well as over current protection. Refer to the device specifications
on ni.com/manuals for more information about the maximum voltage and current.
When the system powers on, the DIO channels are set as input low with pull-down resistors.
To set another power-on state, you can configure the NI PXIe-7867R to load a VI when the
system powers on. The VI can then set the DIO lines to any power-on state. Visit ni.com/info
and enter RSeries_PowerUpStates to learn more about configuring the power-up states
for the NI PXIe-7867R.
All the high-speed DIO channels on Connector 1 are routed with a 50 Ω characteristic trace
impedance. Route all external circuitry with a similar impedance to ensure best signal quality.
NI recommends performing signal integrity measurements to test the affect of signal routing
with the cable and connection accessory for your application.
Field Wiring Considerations
Environmental noise can seriously affect the measurement accuracy of the device if you do not
take proper care when running signal wire between signal sources and the device. The
following recommendations mainly apply to AI signal routing to the device, as well as signal
routing in general.
Take the following precautions to minimize noise pickup and maximize measurement
accuracy:
• Use differential AI connections to reject common-mode noise.
• Use individually shielded, twisted-pair wires to connect AI signals to the device. With
this type of wire, the signal attached to the positive and negative inputs are twisted
together and then covered with a shield. You then connect this shield only at one point to
the signal source ground. This kind of connection is required for signals traveling through
areas with large magnetic fields or high electromagnetic interference.
• Route signals to the device carefully. Keep cabling away from noise sources, such as
video monitors and analog signals.
Use the following recommendations for all signal connections to the NI PXIe-7867R:
• Separate NI PXIe-7867R signal lines from high-current or high-voltage lines. These lines
can induce currents in or voltages on the NI PXIe-7867R signal lines if they run in
parallel paths at a close distance. To reduce the magnetic coupling between lines, separate
them by a reasonable distance if they run in parallel or run the lines at right angles to each
other.
• Do not run signal lines through conduits that also contain power lines.
• Protect signal lines from magnetic fields caused by electric motors, welding equipment,
breakers, or transformers by running them through special metal conduits.
+5 V Power Source
Use the +5 V terminals on the I/O connector supply +5 V referenced to DGND to power
external circuitry.
NI PXIe-7867R User Manual | © National Instruments | 7

Caution Never connect the +5 V power terminals to analog or digital ground or
any other voltage source on the NI PXIe-7867R or any other device. Doing so can
damage the device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for damage
resulting from such a connection.
The power rating is 4.75 to 5.1 V DC at 0.5 A.
