Signal Conditioning Options
SCXI
SCXI is a front-end signal conditioning and switching system for vario
u
s
meas
u
rement devices, incl
u
ding X Series devices. An SCXI system
consists of a r
u
gged chassis that ho
u
ses shielded signal conditioning
mod
u
les that amplify, filter, isolate, and m
u
ltiplex analog signals from
thermoco
u
ples or other transd
u
cers. SCXI is designed for large

SCC
SCC is a front-end signal conditioning system for X Series pl
u
g-in data
acq
u
isition devices. An SCC system consists of a shielded carrier that holds
u
p to 20 single- or d
u
al-channel SCC mod
u
les for conditioning
thermoco
u
ples and other transd
u
cers. SCC is designed for small
meas
u
rement systems where yo
u
need only a few channels of each signal
type, or for portable applications. SCC systems also offer the most
comprehensive and flexible signal connectivity options.
