SCXI-1180 Feedthrough Panel

The SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel provides front-panel access to the
signals of any data acquisition board that uses a 50-pin I/O connector. The
SCXI-1180 consists of a front panel with a 50-pin male front panel
connector that occupies one slot in the SCXI chassis, and a ribbon cable
with a female rear connector and a male breakout connector. You can attach
the rear connector to the male breakout connector of an SCXI-1340,
SCXI-1341, SCXI-1342, SCXI-1344, or SCXI-1351 in the adjacent slot.
The breakout connector further extends the cabling scheme. The front panel
connector provides the feedthrough connection. You can attach an
SCXI-1302 terminal block to the front panel connector for simple screw
terminal connections. A rear filler panel that shields and protects the
interior of the SCXI chassis is also included.
