How do I plug both a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard into the
controller?
The NI PXIe-8130 has no PS/2 connector, and you need to use a
USB Y-splitter cable as shown in Figure 4-1, or a similar device, to connect
both a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard. National Instruments
part number 778713-01 is such a cable and is available through the online
catalog at
ni.com/products
What if I don't have a Y-splitter cable? Can I still use a mouse and
keyboard?
If you do not have a Y-splitter cable, plug a USB keyboard into any USB
connector. You can also plug a USB mouse into any USB connector.
How do I connect a standard 25-pin LPT cable to the NI PXIe-8130?
The NI PXIe-8130 uses a type C LPT connector. Most parallel port
devices use a type A connector. To use a device with a standard type A
LPT connector, you need to use a type C-to-type A LPT adapter. Parallel
port adapter cables, part number 777169-01, are available through the
online catalog at
