Chapter 3 Configuring Your SCXI Hardware and Software

6. Configure the amplifier output referencing.
The signal output referencing is relevant only if you connect the
SCXI-1121 module directly to a DAQ device.
Use jumper W33 to configure the various output referencing modes
of the SCXI-1121 amplifier. The correct output referencing mode
depends on the input mode of the DAQ device you use.
Table 3-16 shows the three possible signal referencing configurations.
7. If you are using any digital SCXI modules in serial mode and will
connect the SCXI-1121 module to the plug-in DAQ device, configure
the SCXI-1121 module to connect the MISO signal to the
SERDATOUT pin (jumper W38).
SCXI-1122 Module
This module has 16 isolated input channels and two isolated excitation
channels. The SCXI-1122 is a module for signal conditioning of strain
gauges, RTDs, thermistors, thermocouples, volt and millivolt sources,
4to20mAcurrentsources,and0to20mAprocess-currentsources.The
SCXI-1122 can operate in two modes. Use the two-wire scan mode with all
16 input channels used for input or the four-wire scan mode with the eight
upper channels configured as sense leads for connecting input channels and

Jumper Description Configuration
A-R0R1—Parking position. Use this setting
for MIO or AI devices in DIFF input mode
(factory-default position).
AB-R2—Select this position for AI and MIO
devices in NRSE mode.
AB-R0—Connects the amplifier reference to
data acquisition analog ground, pins 1 and 2 of
the rear signal connector. Use this position for
DAQ devices with SE inputs, such as the Lab
and 1200 devices, or MIO and AI devices in
RSE mode.
