SCXI USB Modules
SCXI USB modules are plug-and-play, integrated signal conditioning modules that
communicate between an SCXI system and a USB-compatible computer or USB hub, so no
intermediate DAQ device is needed. SCXI USB modules, such as the SCXI-1600, cannot be
used in a PXI/SCXI combination chassis or in multichassis systems. After you install the module
in the chassis, complete these steps:
1.
Connect the USB cable from the computer port or from any other USB hub to the USB port
on the SCXI USB module.
2.
Attach the cable to the strain relief using a cable tie.
