The NI 9751 can also operate inverted charge scheme piezo injectors. The PiezoInvert Boolean
determines the inverted piezo mode. The injector valve closes when the stack is charged and the
valve opens when the stack is discharged. Channel 1 can operate only a single piezo injector
when operated in inverted mode.You must leave Channel 2 disconnected and connect Channel 3
with a shorting jumper between the Inj+ and Inj- terminals. When you enable PiezoInvert mode,
the first four IPhaseArray elements are used for discharge and the last four elements are used for
charge. Figure 17 shows a representative simplified schematic that drives a single piezo injector
in inverted mode.
