What is the power-on state of the SCXI-1521/B multiplexer, analog bus
switches, and configuration settings?
The multiplexer, analog bus switches, and configuration settings are not in
a known state immediately after power on. All hardware settings are
programmed automatically when beginning an acquisition in LabVIEW or
a test panel in MAX.
Which accessories can I use to connect signals to the front of the
SCXI-1521/B module?
Refer to Chapter 1,
, for more information.
How do I control the excitation voltage, filter setting, potentiometer
settings, and shunt calibration switches from LabVIEW?
Refer to Chapter 3,
, for more information.
What should I take into consideration when I take measurements from
sensors with external excitation?
Set the Excitation Source Property to external and Excitation Value
Property to the closest value that matches the external excitation level.
Does the SCXI-1317 terminal block contain a CJC temperature
sensor?
No.
Are there any user-serviceable parts inside the SCXI-1521/B?
No. There are no fuses, multiturn potentiometers, DIP switches, slide
switches, socketed resistors, or jumpers inside the module. Disassembly of
the module for any reason voids its warranty and nullify its calibration.
