Signal Connections
The input signal range of an SCXI-1120 input channel is ±5 V/ Gtotal
referenced to its negative input, where Gtotal is equal to the product of the
first-stage and second-stage gains. In addition, the input channels are
overvoltage protected to 250 Vrms with power on or off at a maximum of
4.5 mArms sink or source.

SCXI-1120D
When connecting AC-coupled signals to the SCXI-1120D, you do not need
to add the external resistor, as the SCXI-1120D provides a DC path
internally. Refer to Figures 3-6 and 3-7 for further details.

Temperature Sensor Connection
Pins C2 and C4 are dedicated for connecting to a terminal block
temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is not isolated and is
referenced to the chassis ground. The connection is overvoltage protected
to ±25 VDC with power on and ±15 VDC with power off.
