Note
Some switch controllers, like the NI USB-1357/1358/1359, can connect
an NI SCXI switch module directly to a computer. Alternatively, a switch
controller installed in the rightmost PXI slot of an
NI PXI-1010/1011/1050/1052 chassis does not require any additional cables or
adapters to connect to the switch module.
Note
The NI 4060 device can only control the
NI SCXI-1127/1128/1129/1160/1161/1163R/1190 switch modules configured
using Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).
2.
Identify the adapter kit(s) required to cable the switch controller or the computer to the NI
SCXI switch module.
3.
Determine the appropriate installation procedure for installing your NI switch module.
Refer to the following table.

To use this module with the listed controllers, set jumpers W2, W3, and W4 on the NI switch
module to MIO. Refer to the
NI SCXI-1160/1161 Jumpers Note to Users
or the
NI Switches Help
for more information.

An NI USB device can control these switches when cabled to a 10-pin rear connector NI SCXI
switch module in the same chassis. NI USB switch controllers cannot be used with an
NI PXI-1011 or an NI PXI-1052 chassis.
