Filter Jumpers
Two-stage filtering is also available on your SCXI-1120 module. The first stage is located in the
isolated section of the input channel, whereas the second stage is located in the nonisolated
section of your input channel. Two-stage filtering eliminates the noise generated by the isolation
amplifier, producing a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, two filter bandwidths are
available, 10 kHz and 4 Hz.

Your SCXI-1120 is shipped in the 4 Hz position. Remember to make sure that both stages are
set to the same bandwidth to ensure that the required bandwidth is achieved. Notice that one
jumper block is available for each filter stage.
