Signal Connections
This chapter describes the AMUX-64T signal connections and has
specifications and connection instructions for the AMUX-64T connector
signals.
The following warnings contain important safety information concerning
hazardous voltages.
Warning
Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings of input signals on the
AMUX-64T board can damage the AMUX-64T, the MIO board, or the computer.
This includes connecting any power signals to ground and vice versa. Maximum
input ratings are given in Appendix A, Specifications. National Instruments is
NOT
liable for any damages resulting from signal connections that exceed these
ratings.
D
O
NOT
OPERATE
DAMAGED
EQUIPMENT
. The safety-protection features built into this
board can become impaired if the board becomes damaged in any way. If it is
damaged, disconnect power and do not use the board until service-trained
personnel can check its safety. If necessary, return the board to National
Instruments for service and repair to ensure that its safety is not compromised.
D
O
NOT
SUBSTITUTE
PARTS
OR
MODIFY
EQUIPMENT
. Because of the danger of
introducing additional hazards, do not install unauthorized parts or modify the
board. Return the board to National Instruments for service and repair to ensure
that its safety features are not compromised.
Caution
N
EVER
connect a signal to screw terminals CH0–CH63 that violates their
overvoltage protection limits. When the AMUX-64T is powered on, the screw
terminals CH0–CH63 overvoltage protection is ±35 V; when the AMUX-64T is
powered off, overvoltage protection is ±20 V.
I/O Connector
Connectors J1 and J2 are connected together pin by pin and have exactly
the same pinout as the 50-pin MIO board I/O connector. J42 has the exact
same pinout as the 68-pin MIO board I/O connector. Table 3-1 shows the
pin mapping between J1, J2, and J42.
