SCXI-1326 Installation. To connect the terminal block to the SCXI-1162 front connector, follow
these steps:
1. Connect the SCXI-1162 front connector to its mating connector on the terminal block.
2. Make sure that the SCXI-1162 top and bottom thumbscrews do not obstruct the rear panel of
the terminal block.
3. Tighten the top and bottom screws on the back of the terminal block to hold it securely in
place.
Rear Signal Connector
Note: If you will use the SCXI-1162 with a National Instruments data acquisition board and
cable assembly, you do not need to read the remainder of this chapter. If you will also
use the SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel, the SCXI-1343 rear screw terminal adapter, or the
SCXI-1351 one-slot cable extender with the SCXI-1162, read this section.
The rear signal connector is configured based on the jumper settings described earlier in this
chapter. Jumper W2 determines whether the rear connector will be used for serial or parallel
communication. If jumper W2 is set to serial, then jumpers W3, W4, and W6 determine whether
the rear connector is configured for an MIO-type connection or a DIO-type connection. If
jumper W2 is set to parallel, then jumper W1 determines whether lines 0 through 23 or lines 0
through 31 are active.
Figure 2-6A shows the pin assignments for the SCXI-1162 rear signal connector configured for
serial communication, and Figure 2-6B shows the pin assignments for the SCXI-1162 rear signal
connector configured for parallel communication.
