Installation and Operation
This chapter describes the installation and operation of your SC-205
X
adapter, including configuration and cable connections.
Hardware Installation
The following are general instructions for installing your SC-205
X
Series
adapter in your DAQ system. Consult your computer user manual or
technical reference manual for specific instructions and warnings. Notice
that the installation instructions are the same for each SC-205
X
Series
adapter.
Note
Turn off the host computer before making any connections.
1.
Mount your board in the 19-in. rack (optional).
2.
Set the shield selection jumper for appropriate grounding.
3.
Install the signal conditioning accessories you are using with your
SC-205
X
Series adapter.
4.
Connect your SC-205
X
Series adapter to the accessories and to the host
computer DAQ device using the appropriate cables.
5.
Attach the appropriate cover on the rack (optional).
6.
Turn on the computer.
The sections that follow explain each step in more detail.
Rack Mounting
You can mount all of your SC-205
X
Series adapters in a 19-in. rack but you
must mount your SC-2056 at the far left or far right of the rack to facilitate
cable entry at the side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 10-1.
When using the SC-2057, you cannot route the SH96-96 cable through the
cable access slots in the sides of the rack-mount kit. The SH96-96 will have
to be routed from the top or bottom of the 19-in. rack. Since the SH96-96
cable will need to be routed from the top or bottom of the rack, the metal
wraparound cover cannot be used with the SC-2057.
