should already be installed in the chassis according to their installation
instructions.
You must select one of the analog input modules in the chassis to be the
cabled module, the module to which the SCXI cable assembly will be
connected. If the chassis contains at least one simultaneous sampling
module such as the SCXI-1140, SCXI-1530, or SCXI-1531 module, select
one of these modules to be the cabled module; otherwise, select one of the
remaining analog input modules. To connect the chassis to a DAQ device
for multiplexed operation, complete the following steps while referring to
Figure 2-2:
1.
Turn off the SCXI chassis and the computer that contains the DAQ
device.
2.
Insert the cable adapter into the back of the SCXI chassis aligned with
the module that is to be connected to the DAQ device. See the
installation guide for your cable assembly for more information.
3.
Connect the cable to the back of the cable adapter ensuring that the
cable fits securely.
4.
Connect the other end of the cable to the DAQ device that you will use
to control the SCXI system.
5.
Check the cable installation, making sure the connectors are securely
fastened at both ends.
6.
Turn on the SCXI chassis.
7.
Turn on the computer.
