Digital Flying Lead Cable
Accessory for Single-Ended NI Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzers
Contents
The NI SHC68-H1X38 cable is a single-ended cable that breaks out each
NI digital waveform generator/analyzer signal into two 0.1 inch header
receptacles, one receptacle each for the signal and ground. The
NI SHC68-H1X38 cable provides an easy way to connect NI single-ended
high-speed digital waveform generator/analyzer devices to various types of
devices and circuits for interfacing, testing, or analysis.
This cable offers connectivity similar to that found on a typical logic
analyzer, so you can use it in logic analyzer-type applications. Unlike a
typical logic analyzer, however, this cable also allows for simultaneous
pattern generation and acquisition so that it can be used in
stimulus/response applications as well.
This guide explains how to set up and use the NI SHC68-H1X38 cable with
single-ended NI digital waveform generator/analyzer modules.
