Scanning in an SCXI Chassis
In this configuration, you can multiplex all eight input channels of the
SCXI-1126 into a single channel of the E Series DAQ device.
Consult the SCXI chassis documentation, other SCXI module
documentation, and E Series DAQ device documentation for additional
instructions and cautions. You should have already installed the SCXI-1126
