For easy signal attachment to the SCXI-1126, you can use a terminal block
to connect such signal connection options as screw terminals and BNC
connectors.
With the SCXI-1126, the SCXI chassis can serve as a fast-scanning signal
conditioner for laboratory testing, production testing, and industrial
process monitoring.
Detailed specifications of the SCXI-1126 are listed in Appendix A,
