Using the SCB-68 with Multifunction I/O Devices
You can take measurements with the SCB-68 and multifunction I/O (MIO) DAQ
products, such as NI 60xx/61xx/62xx/63xx, in a number of ways. Switches S1 and S2
provide power to the signal conditioning area of the accessory. The SCB-68 has a
temperature sensor for cold-junction compensation (CJC) to accommodate
thermocouples; switches S3, S4, and S5 configure the temperature sensor for
dierent analog input settings. The following table shows the dierent switch
settings for MIO DAQ devices.
Switch Setting Description

■
+5 V power provided to signal conditioning area of the accessory.
Refer to the following figure for a detailed diagram.
MIO with differential temperature sensor mode—Move switches S1, S2, S3, S4,
and S5 to the positions shown at le. In this mode:
■
The temperature sensor can be read using AI 0 and AI 8 in dierential
mode.
■
+5 V power provided to signal conditioning area of the accessory.
Refer to the following figure for a detailed diagram.
