INSTALLATION GUIDE

BNC-2115

Desktop and DIN Rail-Mountable BNC Adapter for E Series Devices

This installation guide describes how to install and configure your 
BNC-2115 accessory. If you have not already installed your DAQ device, 
refer to the 

DAQ Quick Start Guide

 for instructions.

The BNC-2115 is a desktop and DIN rail-mountable BNC adapter you 
can connect to data acquisition (DAQ) devices. The BNC-2115 includes 
24 BNC connectors and a two-position screw terminal. 

The BNC-2115 has one 68-pin connector on the rear panel to connect to 
your DAQ device.The 68-pin I/O connector connects to the extended 
analog input of 64-channel Multifunction DAQ devices and the extended 
digital I/O (DIO) of Multifunction DAQ devices. The BNC-2115 is ideal 
for simplifying connections between your measurement apparatus and your 
DAQ device in laboratory, test, and production environments.
