Step 9. Power On the SCXI Chassis
1.
Identify the appropriate SCXI module to connect to the cable adapter, such as the SCXI-1349.
If there is an analog input module with simultaneous sampling capability in the chassis, you must
connect that module to the cable assembly, or an error message appears each time you run your
application.
•
If all modules are in multiplexed mode, determine which of the modules occurs first in the
following list, and attach the cable adapter to it:
•
If your system has both parallel and multiplexed modules, select the multiplexed controller
from the previous list, and attach the cable adapter to it.
•
If all modules are in parallel mode, attach a cable adapter to each module. The following
modules can run in parallel mode:
2.
Insert the 50-pin female connection on the rear of the cable adapter into the 50-pin male connector
