National Instruments NI PCI-6110, NI PCI-6111

Cable Connector Descriptions

This appendix describes the cable connectors on the NI PCI-6110/6111.

FigureB-1 shows the pin assignments for the 68-pin NI PCI-6110/6111

connector. This connector is available when you use the SH6868EP cable

assemblies with the NI PCI-6110/6111.

FigureB-2 shows the pin assignments for the NI PCI-6110/6111 when used

with 50-pin accessories.
