Figure 2-10 shows signal connections for three typical DIO applications.
Figure 2-10. Example Digital I/O Connections
Figure 2-10 shows DIO<0..3> configured for digital input and DIO<4..7>
configured for digital output. Digital input applications include receiving
TTL, LVTTL, CMOS, or LVCMOS signals and sensing external device
states, such as the state of the switch shown in the figure. Digital output
applications include sending TTL or LVCMOS signals and driving external
devices, such as the LED shown in the figure.
The NIPXI-783 1R SH68-C68-S shielded cable contains 34 twisted pairs
of conductors. To maximize the digital I/O available on the NIPXI-7831R,
some of the DIO lines are twisted with power or ground as they are run
through the cable, and some DIO lines are twisted with other DIO lines as
they are run through the cable. To obtain maximum signal integrity, place
