DIO-96, AT-MIO-16D, and AT-MIO-64F-5 Board
Connection
To use your SCXI-1162 with a DIO-96, AT-MIO-16D, or AT-MIO-64F-5 board, you need an
NB5 cable. The NB5 cable is a ribbon cable with a 100-pin connector that mates with the data
acquisition board rear signal connector. The other end of the cable is divided into two 50-pin
connectors. Use positions 1 through 50 of the NB5 connector to control the SCXI-1162 and the
SCXIbus via serial communication. Positions 51 through 100 of the NB5 cable are not used by
the SCXI-1162 for serial communication. Positions 1 through 50 may also be used for parallel
communication with the DIO-96, and positions 51 through 100 may be used for parallel
communication with either the DIO-96 or the AT-MIO-16D board. You may connect either
50-pin connector directly to the SCXI-1162 or you may use an SCXI-1351.
The SCXI-1351 has the following advantages over the ribbon cable:
•
The SCXI-1351 produces strain relief so that you cannot accidentally disconnect the cable.
•
The SCXI-1351 includes a mounting bracket that mounts to the chassis so that you can
remove and reinsert the module without explicitly removing the cable from the back of the
chassis. This is especially useful when the SCXI chassis is rack mounted, making rear access
difficult.
•
The SCXI-1351 has an extra female connector for use with the SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel
or additional modules or breadboards that need a direct connection to the DIO-96 board.
•
The SCXI-1351 rear panel gives the module and the chassis both mechanical and electrical
shielding.
