The NI 4060 can control only the SCXI-1127/1128/1129/1160/1161/1163R/1190/1191/1192 switch modules configured
under
Traditional NI-DAQ Devices
in MAX. For software support information, refer to Table 2.

An E Series device can control these switches when cabled to another SCXI module in the same chassis. The cabled SCXI
module can be an SCXI signal conditioning device or another SCXI switch module. Alternatively, you can install the E Series
device in the rightmost PXI slot of a PXI-1010 or PXI-1011 chassis.

To use this module with the listed controllers, set jumpers W2, W3, and W4 on the switch module to MIO. Refer to the
NI SCXI-1160/1161 Jumpers Note to Users
or the
