Analog Bus Switch
The SCXI-1102/B/C modules contain switches to place their analog
output on the SCXIbus to pass the output to the SCXI module cabled to
the DAQ device. The SCXI-1102/B/C modules also contain switches to
receive a signal placed on the SCXIbus by another SCXI module. The
output buffer of the cabled module drives a received signal onto the
MCH0+ line of the rear signal connector so that the DAQ device can
read it. When a signal passes on the SCXIbus from the scanned SCXI
module to the cabled SCXI module, the measurement is known as
indirect scanning.
