Configuration and Installation
SCXI-1326 Installation
To connect the terminal block to the SCXI-1163 front connector, follow these steps:
1. Connect the SCXI-1163 front connector to its mating connector on the terminal block.
2. Make sure that the SCXI-1163 top and bottom thumbscrews do not obstruct the rear panel of
the terminal block.
3. Tighten the top and bottom screws on the back of the terminal block to hold the terminal
block securely in place.
Rear Signal Connector
Note: If you will be using the SCXI-1163 with a National Instruments data acquisition board
and cable assembly, you do not need to read the remainder of this chapter. If you will
also be using the SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel or the SCXI-1343 rear screw terminal
adapter with the SCXI-1163, you should read this section.
The rear signal connector is configured based on the jumper settings described earlier in this
chapter. Jumper W6 determines whether the rear connector will be used for serial or parallel
communication. If you set jumper W6 to serial, jumpers W2, W3, and W5 determine whether
the rear connector is configured for an MIO-type connection or a DIO-type connection.
Figure 2-4A shows the pin assignments for the SCXI-1163 rear signal connector configured for
serial communication. Figure 2-4B shows the pin assignments for the rear signal connector
configured for parallel communication.
