National Instruments VXI-SC-1102 What You Need to Get Started

Chapter 1 Introduction
© National Instruments Corporation 1-3 VXI-SC-1102/B/C User Manual
The VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules operate with full functionality with
National Instruments VXI-MIO modules. You can multiplex several
VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules and other VXI signal conditioning
submodules into a single channel on the VXI-MIO module, greatly
increasing the number of analog input signals that you can digitize.
You can also use National Instruments terminal blocks, which have
screw terminals to which you attach the input signals for the
VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules. In addition, some of these terminal
blocks have a temperature sensor for thermocouple cold-junction
compensation (CJC). The VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules multiplex
this cold-junction sensor with the 32 input channels during a hardware
scan. A National Instruments isothermal terminal block is
recommended for thermocouple applications.
Detailed specifications of the VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules are listed
in Appendix A, Specifications.
