KPCI-PIO96 User’s Manual
Installation
3-7
Connecting I/O cables and interface accessories
The KPCI-PIO96 I/O connectors can be mated directly to your external circuits using locally
fabricated cable assemblies. Alternatively, the connectors can be mated to your circuits via
manufactured cable assemblies and interface accessories, such as screw terminal boards and
relay circuits.
CAUTION
If a cable is connected to any external circuits, make sure power
to all external circuits is turned OFF before connecting this cable
to the KPCI-P1096 board. Connecting a powered external circuit
to the board can damage the board, the external circuit, or both.
Handle the board at the mounting bracket, using a grounded
wrist strap. Do not touch the circuit traces or connector contacts.
If you do not have a grounded wrist strap, periodically discharge
static electricity by placing one hand firmly on a grounded metal
portion of the computer chassis.
Using locally fabricated cable assemblies
To mate a locally fabricated cable to an I/O connector, install a 3M 3425-6050 mating connector
on the cable. One cable and one mating connector are required for each group of PA, PB, and
PC ports.
Using manufactured cables and accessories
Using manufactured cables and accessories is illustrated in Figure 3-3. Each item is described in
Table 3-2. For more information about these products, refer to your Keithley data acquisition or
full line catalog or consult with your Keithley dealer.
