My SCXI-1162 module cannot read serial data unless I connect it
directly to my DAQ device. Also, my SCXI-1163 module seems to be
reading faulty information from the status registers. What is causing
these problems?
The SCXI-1162 and SCXI-1163 send digital data to the SCXIbus.
However, the analog modules, by default, do not send digital data from the
SCXIbus to the DAQ device. If you have digital and analog SCXI modules
in the same chassis and control them all through a DAQ device cabled to an
analog module, you must configure that analog module to route digital data
from the SCXIbus to the DAQ device.
Each SCXI module user manual explains how to configure the module,
with two jumpers, to route data. One jumper connects the SCXIbus MISO
line to SERDATOUT; the other jumper connects a pullup resistor to the
MISO line.
What signals are reserved by SCXI on my plug-in device?
Table A-1 shows which signals SCXI reserves.
Note
SCXI also reserves a counter on your DAQ device for the Track/Hold signal.
