Note
You need to adjust jumpers on this module only if you plan to connect the module
directly to an analog DAQ device or if you want to use the module in parallel mode. If
either of these conditions applies to you, read the rest of this section.
Use the following procedure to configure your SCXI-1163 module:
1.
Select your device type—either analog or digital.
If the module is connected to a DIO device, set jumpers W2 and W3 to
the DIO position, as shown in Table 3-34. If the module is connected
to an analog device, set W2 and W3 to the MIO position. If the module
is not cabled directly to a DAQ device, the positions of W2 and W3 are
irrelevant.
Table 3-34 shows the SCXI-1163 device-type jumper configurations.
2.
Select serial or parallel mode.
If you are using the module in parallel mode, set jumper W6 to the
P position and jumper W5 to the PAR position. For serial mode, set
W6 to the S position and jumper W5 to the MIO or DIO position,
depending on the type of DAQ device to which the module is
connected. If you are using the module in parallel mode, it must be
directly connected to a digital DAQ device or the DIO-24 connector of
an MIO-16D.
