Descriptions

Appendix

This appendix describes the connectors on the optional cables for the

DAQCard E Series cards.

Figure B-1 shows the pin assignments for the 68-pin AI connector. This

connector is available when you use the PSHR68-68M or PR6868 cable

assemblies with the DAQCard-AI-16E-4 or DAQCard-AI-16XE-50.
