Connecting to the parent A/D device with the DSUB25 expansion
connector
You can use the 25-pin expansion connector to connect to a compatible parent device, such as a USB-1616HS
Series device.
You can either mate the expansion connectors directly or use the optional expansion cable to connect the two
devices. Do the following:
1.
Disconnect the USB cable from the parent device.
If the parent device is connected to an external power supply, remove the external power cable from the
device.
2.
Connect the two devices together by one of the following methods:
o
Direct connect method
: The parent device must have a female DSUB25 expansion connector to use
this method. Push the expansion module's DSUB25 connector into the DSUB25 connector on the
parent device. Lock the two devices together by inserting the two clips provided (one per side).
The image below shows the AI-EXP48 directly connected a USB-1616HS-4.
