INSTALLATION GUIDE

NI 1357/1358/1359 
SCXI Controller/Adapter Kit

This document describes the components, installation, and configuration 
of the National Instruments SCXI-1357/1358/1359 and the 
NI USB-1357/1358/1359 controller/adapter kits. The SCXI kit connects 
a switch controller to an SCXI switch module; the USB kit connects a 
computer to an SCXI switch module. Both SCXI and USB kits create 
a high-voltage analog backplane and share high-voltage signals among 
switches.

Introduction

Note

Both SCXI and USB kits connect to an SCXI switch with a 10-pin rear connector. 

Refer to the 

NI Switches Getting Started Guide

 to determine the switches and switch 

controllers that your kit supports.

The NI 1359 kit (2 slots) consists of the following components:

NI USB-1359 
(2-slot high-voltage analog bus (HVAB) backplane adapter with 
USB connector) 
or
NI SCXI-1359 
(2-slot HVAB backplane adapter with 9-pin DIN connector)

SH9MD-9MD cable (SCXI kits) or USB cable (USB kits)

The NI 1358 kit (12 slots) consists of the following components:

NI USB-1359 or NI SCXI-1359

One 8-slot HVAB backplane adapter

NI SCXI-1359
