SCXI Quick Start Guide
Signal Conditioning eXtensions for Instrumentation
This document explains how to install and configure SCXI signal
conditioning modules in SCXI-1000, SCXI-1001, SCXI-1000DC, or
PXI/SCXI combination chassis, confirm the module and chassis are
operating properly, and set up multichassis systems. It also describes the
NI-DAQ 7.x software relative to SCXI and integrated signal conditioning
products. This document assumes you have already installed, configured,
and tested the data acquisition (DAQ) device to which you will connect the
SCXI module. If you have not, refer to the DAQ Quick Start Guide included
with the DAQ device, and available on the NI-DAQ 7.x Device
Documentation CD and from
ni.com/manuals, before continuing.
This document does not cover installing and configuring SCXI switch
