If you installed direct-connect modules, skip to
Step 7. Install the Cable Adapter
.
Attach the terminal blocks to the front of the modules. Refer to
ni.com/products
to determine valid
terminal block and module combinations. Refer to the TBX installation guide if you are using a TBX
terminal block.

Step 7. Install the Cable Adapter
Single-Chassis System
If you installed an SCXI USB module, such as the SCXI-1600, or are using a PXI/SCXI combination
chassis, skip to
Step 9. Power On the SCXI Chassis
1.
Identify the appropriate SCXI module to connect to the cable adapter, such as the SCXI-1349.
If there is an analog input module with simultaneous sampling capability in the chassis, you must
connect that module to the cable assembly, or an error message appears each time you run your
application.
•
If all modules are in multiplexed mode, determine which of the modules occurs first in the
following list, and attach the cable adapter to it:
•
If your system has both parallel and multiplexed modules, select the multiplexed controller
from the previous list, and attach the cable adapter to it.
