SCC-FT01 Feedthrough Module

The SCC-FT01 is a feedthrough module that connects directly to the 
analog input (AI) and analog output (AO) channels of a data acquisition 
(DAQ) device. You can use the breadboard area of the SCC-FT01 to 
develop custom signal-conditioning circuitry that can connect to and 
condition any of the analog, digital (P0.), and general-purpose 
counter/timer (CTR) channels of E Series DAQ devices.

Conventions

The following conventions are used in this guide:

Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent 
a range of values associated with a bit or signal name—for example, 
AI <0..7>.
