You can create virtual channels in MAX to map your voltage ranges to the
type of transducer that you are using or to create a custom scale.
Channel Pad Configurations
When you use the SCB-68 with a 68-pin or 100-pin DAQ device, you can
use the component pads on the SCB-68 to condition 16 AI channels, two
AO channels, and PFI0/TRIG1.
Conditioning Analog Input Channels
Figure 5-1 illustrates the AI channel configuration. ACH<
i
> and
ACH<
i
+8> can be used as either a differential channel pair or as two
single-ended channels. Table 5-1 correlates the component labels of the
SCB-68 to component locations A–G for differential channels 0–7. In the
component names in Table 5-1,
R
denotes a resistor, and
C
denotes a
capacitor. Component locations labeled RC
X
provide sockets for two
components, a resistor and a capacitor, to be connected in parallel.
