SCXI Cable Assemblies
If you are using a plug-in DAQ device or DAQCard, connect it to the SCXI
chassis using one of the SCXI cable assemblies listed in Table 1-4.
Some cable assemblies have extra male breakout connectors with which
you can access unused DAQ device signals through the SCXI-1180
feedthrough panel or the SCXI-1181 breadboard module. The SCXI-1200
comes with a 1 m parallel port cable.
SCXI Multichassis System with Plug-In DAQ Device
For a multichassis SCXI system, that is cabled using an SCXI-1346 or
SCXI-1350, chassis are daisy-chained using multichassis adapters with
shielded or unshielded cables to a single plug-in DAQ device. You can
control up to eight SCXI-1000, SCXI-1000DC, or SCXI-1001 chassis with
a single AI, MIO, or DIO-24 device. Figure 1-5 shows a multichassis
configuration using the SCXI-1346 multichassis adapter.
