SCXI-1341 and SCXI-1344 Installation
Follow these steps to install the SCXI-1341 or SCXI-1344:
1. Make sure that the computer and the SCXI chassis are turned off.
2. Install the SCXI module in the chassis.
3. Connect one end of the ribbon cable to the adapter board rear connector. This is the 50-pin
connector of the SCXI-1344 cable.
4. Plug the adapter board front connector to the module rear signal connector. A corner of the
adapter board will enter the upper board guide of the chassis.
5. Screw the rear panel to the threaded strips in the rear of the chassis.
6. For an SCXI-1341, connect the loose end of the ribbon cable to the Lab-NB, Lab-PC, or
Lab-PC+ I/O connector. For an SCXI-1344, connect the two 26-pin connectors to the
Lab-LC board according to the instructions given in the Installation section of Chapter 2,
Configuration and Installation, of the Lab-LC User Manual.
Check the installation.
SCXI-1342 PC-LPM-16 Cable Assembly
The SCXI-1342 PC-LPM-16 cable assembly connects a PC-LPM-16 board to an SCXI-1163
module. The SCXI-1342 cable assembly consists of two pieces–an adapter board and a
50-conductor ribbon cable that connects the PC-LPM-16 board to the adapter board. The adapter
board converts the signals from the PC-LPM-16 I/O connector to a format compatible with the
SCXI-1163 rear signal connector pinout. The adapter board also has an additional male breakout
connector that provides the unmodified PC-LPM-16 signals for use with an SCXI-1180
feedthrough panel or SCXI-1181 breadboard module. The adapter board gives the PC-LPM-16
full access to the digital control lines. The position of jumper W1 on the SCXI-1342 is irrelevant
because the SCXI-1163 does not use jumper W1. Table E-3 lists the SCXI-1342 pin translations.
