This guide describes how to install the SCXI-1356 shielded cable between
a 100-pin VXI-MIO Series module and two SCXI modules.
Introduction
With the SCXI-1356 shielded cable, you can make a low-noise,
long-distance connection between a VXI-MIO Series module and two
SCXI modules. The cable is available in 1, 2, 5, and 10 m lengths. The
cable is Y-shaped, with a 100-pin male connector at one end and two 68-pin
female connectors on the branched end. One 68-pin connector branch is
labeled
MIO-16
, and the other is labeled
ACH16-ACH63
. Refer to
Figure 1 for the parts locator diagram.
The 100-pin connector attaches to a VXI-MIO-64E-1 or
VXI-MIO-64XE-10 module. The MIO-16 branch of the cable attaches to
an SCXI-1349 adapter. The ACH16–ACH63 branch of the cable attaches
to an AI-48/DIO-24 adapter.
The SCXI-1349 and AI-48/DIO-24 attach to a variety of SCXI modules.
Both of these adapters have breakout connectors for connecting to other
SCXI accessories, such as the SCXI-1180 and the SCXI-1351.
