Custom Cabling
National Instruments offers cables and accessories for you to prototype
your application or to use if you frequently change device interconnections.
If you want to develop your own cable, however, the following guidelines
can be useful:
•
Route the analog lines separately from the digital lines.
•
When using a cable shield, use separate shields for the analog and
digital halves of the cable. Failure to do so results in noise coupling
into the analog signals from transient digital signals.
Mating connectors and a backshell kit for making custom 68-pin cables are
available from National Instruments.
The following list gives recommended connectors that mate to the I/O
connector on the 6711/6713 device:
