SCXI-1180 Feedthrough Panel
The SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel gives front panel access to the signals of any data acquisition
board that uses a 50-pin I/O connector. The SCXI-1180 consists of a front panel with a 50-pin
male front panel connector that occupies one slot in the SCXI chassis, and a ribbon cable with a
female rear connector and a male breakout connector. You can attach the rear connector to the
male breakout connector of an SCXI-1340, SCXI-1341, SCXI-1342, SCXI-1344, or SCXI-1351
in the adjacent slot. The breakout connector further extends the cabling scheme. The front panel
connector has the feedthrough connection. You can attach an SCXI-1302 terminal block to the
front panel connector for simple screw terminal connections. A rear filler panel that shields and
protects the interior of the SCXI chassis is also included.
SCXI-1180 Installation
Install the SCXI-1180 to the right of a slot that has an SCXI-1340, SCXI-1341, SCXI-1342, or
SCXI-1344 cable assembly or an SCXI-1351 slot extender in its rear connector space.
Perform the following steps to install the SCXI-1180:
1. Make sure that the computer and the SCXI chassis are turned off.
2. Remove the front filler panel of the slot where you want to insert the SCXI-1180.
3. Thread the rear connector through the front of the chassis to the rear of the chassis. Attach
the rear connector to the breakout connector of the adjacent cable assembly or slot extender,
as shown in Figure E-3.
