The SC-2072 can be used with all National Instruments NB Series, MC Series, PC Series, AT Series, Lab/1200 Series, and the PC-OPDIO-16 DAQ, digital I/O, and timing boards (except the NB-A2000 and the EISA-A2000), and some DAQCards.
50-conductor NB1 0.5 or 1.0 m cable (some kits do not contain either cable) Your computer Optional Equipment You can use the following National Instruments products with your SC-207X Series board: • Type NB5 ribbon cable, 0.5 or 1.0 m •...
• Remove the board from the package and inspect the board for loose components or any other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the board appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged board into your computer.
I/O signals; add analog input signal conditioning, such as filters, dividers, and thermocouple compensation; and build external, custom timing, analog, and digital circuits. The SC-2070 board is used with National Instruments DAQ boards for the Macintosh (NB Series), IBM PS/2 Micro Channel (MC Series), and PC/XT/AT and compatible (AT Series) computers.
I/O lines, then you must use the SC-2050 cable adapter board and the appropriate SC-2060 digital signal conditioning board. For more information on the SC-205X Series boards or the SC-206X Series boards, refer either to your National Instruments catalog, the SC-205X Series User Manual, or the SC-206X Series User Manual.
Figure 2-5. Direct Connection between an MIO-16 Board and the SC-2070 Board If any signal conditioning of the digital I/O ports with the National Instruments SC-206X Series boards is desired, then the SC-2050 cable adapter board must be used with the DAQ boards listed in Table 2-2.
Chapter 2 Warning: Do not connect the SC-2070 board to any board other than a National Instruments MIO-16 board or the SC-2050 cable adapter board. The SC-2070 board is not compatible with any other DAQ boards or cable adapter boards. Attempts to use the SC-2070 board with products for which it is not intended can result in damage to the SC-2070 board, the DAQ board, or the host computer.
E and F. The closest standard 5% tolerance resistors are 20 kΩ. The closest standard 0.5% resistors are 19.8 kΩ. National Instruments recommends using 1% or better tolerance resistors in this application because differences between the resistor values degrade the common-mode rejection ratio.
Input voltages greater than 42 V can result in damage to the SC-2070 board, any and all boards connected to it, and the host computer. Overvoltage can also cause an electric shock hazard for the operator. National Instruments is liable for damage or injury resulting from such misuse.
Lab/1200 device I/O signals; add analog input signal conditioning, such as filters, dividers, and thermocouple compensation; and build external, custom timing, analog, and digital circuits. The SC-2071 board is used with the National Instruments Lab/1200 devices for the Macintosh, IBM PC/XT/AT, and compatible computers.
SC-2071 Figure 3-6. Daisy-chaining a Lab/1200 device to a BNC-2081 For digital signal conditioning with the National Instruments SC-206X Series boards, the SC-2053 cable adapter board must be used with the Lab-NB or Lab-PC. Figure 3-7 shows a connection using the SC-2053 cable adapter board.
DAQ devices or cable adapter boards. Attempts to use the SC-2071 board with products for which it was not intended can result in damage to the SC-2071 board, the DAQ device, or the host computer. National Instruments is liable for damages resulting from these connections.
The method of temperature calculation used in this example yields only an approximate value.
