Connecting the Signals
This chapter describes how to make input and output signal connections
to the device using the device I/O connector.
I/O Connector
The DAQPad-6052E with BNCs provides easy-to-use user I/O directly on
the front of the box. Analog input, analog output, CTR0 Out, PFI0, and
External Reference are accessible through BNCs. You can use USER 1 and
USER 2 to convert a signal on a BNC cable to a signal wire on the
connector block. This conversion makes connecting a BNC cable to a
PFI/Trigger pin easier. The rest of the signals are accessible through a
removable screw terminal block. Extra removable terminal blocks are
available.
Besides the standard I/O connections, both versions of the DAQPad-6052E
have RTSI and an analog expansion bus for connecting to SCXI.
Figure 4-1 shows the pin assignments for the 68-pin I/O connector.
Refer to Appendix B,
Custom Cabling and Optional Connectors
, for the
pin assignments of the 50-pin connector. Refer to Table 4-2 for signal
descriptions.
