Rear Signal Connector Signal Descriptions, Serial Configuration
Pin Signal Name Description
24 or 50 DIG GND Digital Ground – Supplies the reference for data
acquisition board digital signals and is tied to the
module digital ground. Pin 50 is for DIO-type
boards. Pin 24 is for MIO-type boards. Jumper W3
selects the pin.
25 SERDATIN Serial Data In – Taps into the SCXIbus MOSI line
to provide serial input data to a module or Slot 0.
26 or 47 SERDATOUT Serial Data Out – Taps into the SCXIbus MISO line
to accept serial output data from a module. Pin 47
is for DIO-type boards. Pin 26 is for MIO-type
boards. Jumper W5 selects the pin.
27 DAQD*/A Data Acquisition Board Data/Address Line – Taps
into the SCXIbus D*/A line to indicate to the
module whether the incoming serial stream is data
or address information.
29 SLOT0SEL* Slot 0 Select – Taps into the SCXIbus INTR* line
to indicate whether the information on MOSI is
sent to a module or to Slot 0.
31 or 37 SERCLK Serial Clock – Taps into the SCXIbus SPICLK line
to clock the data on the MOSI and MISO lines. Pin
31 is for DIO-type boards. Pin 37 is for MIO-type
boards. Jumper W2 selects the pin.
* Indicates active low.
All other pins are not connected.
See the Timing Requirements and Communication Protocol section later in this chapter for more
detailed information on timing.
