Check the installation.
After step 1, the order of these steps is not critical; however, it is easier to locate the correct
position for the mounting bracket with a module installed in the chassis. If you will attach a
cable to the breakout connector, installation is easiest if you attach the second cable before
installing the SCXI-1340.

SCXI-1341 Lab-NB, Lab-PC, or Lab-PC+ and SCXI-1344
Lab-LC Cable Assembly
The SCXI-1341 Lab-NB, Lab-PC, or Lab-PC+ cable assembly connects a Lab-NB, Lab-PC, or
Lab-PC+ board to an SCXI-1120 module. The SCXI-1344 Lab-LC cable assembly connects a
Lab-LC board to an SCXI-1120 module. The SCXI-1341 and SCXI-1344 cable assemblies
consist of two pieces–an adapter board and a 50-conductor ribbon cable that connects the Lab
board to the rear connector of the adapter board. The adapter board converts the signals from the
Lab board I/O connector to a format compatible with the SCXI-1120 rear signal connector pinout
at the front connector of the SCXI-1341 or SCXI-1344. The adapter board also has an additional
male breakout connector that makes the unmodified Lab board signals accessible to an
SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel or an SCXI-1181 breadboard module. The adapter board gives the
