National Instruments SCXI-1503 Temperature Input Module
The NI SCXI-1503 (Part Number: 779638-01) is ideal for measuring resistive transducers like RTDs or thermistors. Each of the sixteen channels on this module has an amplifier with a selectable gain of 1 or 100, as well as a lowpass filter with a 5 Hz cutoff frequency to discard 50/60 Hz noise. This RTD module can programmatically link every input to ground, which increases the preciseness by allowing a self-calibration of every input to minimize offset drift errors. Several SCXI-1503 Temperature Input Modules and other SCXI modules can be multiplexed into one channel on the DAQ instrument. This results in vastly increasing the quantity of analog input signals that can be digitized.
The SCXI 1503 module can be used with the SCXI-1306 Front-Mounting Terminal Block which has screw terminals for linking signals. The NI SCXI-1503 can be used with the SCXI-1310 as well, which is a customized kit for custom linking. The third option is to use the TBX-96, which is a DIN EN Mount Terminal Block with screw terminals.
The SCXI-1503 current sources unceasingly deliver 16 channels of 100 μA current excitation. When the SCXI chassis is powered on, these current sources are on. The current sources are created to be precise within ±0.05 percent of the designated value with a temperature drift of ±5 ppm/°C at the most. The preciseness and steadiness of the current sources ensures they are suitable for measuring resistance to an extreme degree of preciseness.
The SCXI 1503 is run using the NIDAQmx driver software (version 8.1 or later) which is compatible with software packages or application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. The device can be self-calibrated using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool, and should be externally calibrated at least once a year.
The NI device weighs 26.3 oz, and measures 7.4 x 6.8 x 1.2 in. in physical dimensions. It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of 0 to 50 °C and –20 to 70 °C respectively.
SCXI-1503 Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the module will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.

National Instruments SCXI-1503 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is the SCXI 1503 a good device to measure RTDs?
Answer: The SCXI 1503 is ideal for measuring resistive transducers such as RTDs or thermistors.
Question: How is the accuracy on the NI SCXI-1503 better than other similar products?
Answer: The NI SCXI‑1503 can programmatically connect each input to ground. This improves its accuracy by enabling a self-calibration of each input to reduce offset drift errors.
Question: What is the lowpass filter rate per channel of the NI SCXI 1503?
Answer: The lowpass filter rate per channel on the NI SCXI 1503 is 5 Hz for rejecting 50/60 Hz noise.
