Figure E-1. SCXI-1340 Installation
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-1160 module. The SCXI-1344 Lab-LC cable assembly connects a
Lab-LC board to an SCXI-1160 module. The SCXI-1341 and SCXI-1344 cable assemblies
consist of two pieces–a 50-conductor ribbon cable that connects the Lab board to the rear
connector of the other piece, the adapter board. The adapter board converts the signals from the
Lab board I/O connector to a format compatible with the SCXI-1160 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 provides the unmodified Lab board signals for use with an
SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel or SCXI-1181 breadboard module. The adapter board gives the
Lab boards full access to the digital control lines. The position of jumper W1 on the SCXI-1341
and SCXI-1344 is irrelevant because the SCXI-1160 does not use jumper W1. Table E-2 lists the
SCXI-1341 and SCXI-1344 pin translations.
