PXI-2534 Specifications
Definitions
Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.
Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.
- Typical specifications describe the performance met by a majority of models.
- Nominal specifications describe an attribute that is based on design, conformance testing, or supplemental testing.
Specifications are Warranted unless otherwise noted.
Conditions
Specifications are valid at 23 °C unless otherwise noted.
All voltages are specified in DC, ACpk, or a combination unless otherwise specified.

Input Characteristics
Maximum switching voltage (channel-to-ground and channel-to-channel)[1]1 Switching inductive loads (for example, motors and solenoids) can produce high voltage transients in excess of the module’s rated voltage. Without additional protection, these transients can interfere with module operation and impact relay life. For more information about transient suppression, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code induct. | ±55 VDC, 30 VACrms |
