BNC-2115 Installation Guide

Table 2 describes the two-position terminal block signals on the front panel 
of the BNC-2115.

Connecting Analog Output Signals

National Instruments recommends that you set the switches to the 
ground-referenced (GS) position when measuring analog output signals. 
The AO <8..31> channels correspond with the AI <16..33>, AI <32..39>, 
and AI <48..55> connectors. For details on how each AO signal 
corresponds to each AI signal, refer to Figure 2.

Connecting Digital I/O Signals

Use the BNC connectors and the two-position screw terminal to connect 
your digital signals to your DAQ device. The DIO signal can be accessed 
on the center pin of the applicable BNC connector, while digital ground can 
be accessed on the outer shield of the BNC connector. Tables 3 and 4 
describe the connectors for digital signals on the front panel of the 
BNC-2115.
