Using Your Accessory
The NI SCH68-H1X38 cable breaks out every signal through a 50
Ω
characteristic impedance microcoaxial cable, which is then split into the
two leads with receptacles. This cable was designed for both acquisition
and generation operations with your single-ended NI digital waveform
generator/analyzer. Refer to the Termination sections in the NI Digital
Waveform Generator/Analyzer Help to learn how to correctly terminate
your signals to achieve optimal signal quality.
For optimal signal quality, connect both the signal and ground receptacles
and twist the pair of leads together as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3. Using the NI SCH68-H1X38 Cable for Interface
The receptacles on the SHC68-H1X38 easily attach to standard 0.1 inch
pitch, 0.025 inch diameter header pins. The shipping kit for this cable also
contains ten 4
× 2 header-to-receptacle strips for one-time arrangement of
the flying leads. These strips are useful when you must disconnect and
reconnect the cable to rows of 0.1 inch test pins on a circuit board, for
example. You can easily find other adapters that provide male header pins
on one side and an array of connectors on the other side.
