Connecting the SCXI-119X to a DAQ Device in a PXI
Combination Chassis
To connect the SCXI-119X to a DAQ device in a PXI combination chassis,
such as the PXI-1010 or PXI-1011, you need the following items:
• PXI combination chassis with the SCXI modules installed
• National Instruments PXI MIO DAQ device, or a computer-based
instrument that is capable of controlling SCXI, installed in the right
most slot of the PXI section of the combination chassis
A PXI combination chassis can use both SCXI and PXI modules at the
same time. Because the connection between the SCXI backplane and the
PXI backplane is made through a local bus interface to a PXI multifunction
I/O module installed in the right most slot, no external cabling is needed to
connect one PXI multifunction I/O module to the SCXI bus.
You should have already installed your SCXI-119X module and any other
SCXI modules in the chassis according to their installation instructions.
To use the SCXI-119X module with a DAQ device or computer-based
instrument in a PXI combination chassis, turn on the SCXI chassis.
Consult your PXI chassis documentation, other SCXI module
documentation, and DAQ device or computer-based instrument
documentation for additional instructions and warnings.
If you have already installed the appropriate software, you are ready to
configure the SCXI-119X. If you have not installed the appropriate
software, refer to the Installing the Software section.
