Chapter 2 DAQ System Overview

Screw Terminal Accessories

National Instruments offers several styles of screw terminal connector
blocks. Use an SHC68-68-EPM shielded cable to connect an X Series
device to a connector block, such as the following:
•
•
•
•
•
You can use one screw terminal accessory with the signals on either
connector of your X Series device. You can use two screw terminal
accessories with one X Series device by using both connectors.

RTSI Cables

Use RTSI bus cables to connect timing and synchronization signals among
PCI/PCI Express devices, such as X Series, M Series, CAN, and other
measurement, vision, and motion devices. Since PXI devices use PXI
backplane signals for timing and synchronization, no cables are required.

Cables

In most applications, you can use the following cables:
•
•
•
1
TB-2706 uses Connector 0 of your PXI Express device. After a TB-2706 is installed, Connector 1 cannot be used.
2
NI recommends that you use the SHC68-68-EPM cable; however, an SHC68-68-EP cable will work with X Series devices.
