Chapter 3 Signal Connections

Cabling

National Instruments currently offers a cable termination accessory, the CB-27, for use with the
DAQCard-500. You can attach signal input and output wires to screw terminals on the
connector block and, therefore, to the DAQCard-500 I/O connector.
The CB-27 is useful for the initial prototyping of an application or in situations in which the
DAQCard-500 interconnections are frequently changed. After you develop a final field wiring
scheme, however, you may want to develop your own cable. Refer to Appendix C, Custom
Cable Design, for information and guidelines for the design of custom cables.
