Introduction Chapter 1 Software Programming Choices Your SC-2040 kit does not include software. There are four options to choose from when programming your National Instruments DAQ and SCXI hardware. You can use LabVIEW, LabWindows, NI-DAQ, or register-level programming software. The SC-2040 works with LabVIEW for Windows, LabVIEW for Macintosh, LabWindows for DOS, LabWindows/CVI for Windows, NI-DAQ software for PC compatibles, and NI-DAQ software for Macintosh. LabVIEW and LabWindows Applicat

Chapter 1 Introduction NI-DAQ also internally addresses many of the complex issues between the computer and the DAQ hardware such as programming interrupts and DMA controllers. NI-DAQ maintains a consistent software interface among its different versions so that you can change platforms with minimal modifications to your code. Figure 1-1 illustrates the relationship between NI-DAQ and LabVIEW and LabWindows. You can see that the data acquisition parts of LabVIEW and LabWindows are functionall

Introduction Chapter 1 Register-Level Programming There are no register-level programming concerns for the SC-2040. When using the SC-2040, only the MIO-16E Series board needs to be programmed. Refer to your MIO-16E board manual for further information on register-level programming. Optional Equipment Contact National Instruments to order the following optional equipment: • CB-50 I/O connector (50-screw terminals) with 0.5 or 1.0 m cable • Single or double height rack-mount kit with acrylic pl

Chapter 2 Configuration and Installation The SC-2040 has one switch that controls whether the board is powered from an external supply or from the MIO-16E board. Furthermore, two jumpers control how the board is shielded and grounded. Additionally, there are eight sets of switches and jumpers that configure the gain settings and input modes of the eight SC-2040 channels. Table 2-1. Power Supply Selection Switch Description Configuration INT position—Use this setting SW1 to configure the SC-

Shield Selection Jumper Description Configuration SHLD OFF position—Place W1 W1 the jumper in this position to keep the SC-2040 analog SHLD OFF ground isolated from the metal standoffs in the corners of the SHLD ON board (factory setting). SHLD ON position—Place W1 the jumper in this position to SHLD OFF connect the SC-2040 analog ground to the metal standoffs SHLD ON or to a rack-mount kit, which may provide shielding for the SC-2040.

Configuration and Installation Chapter 2 Supplementary Configuration Information Power Supply Selection Set switch SW1 to the INT position to connect the SC-2040 power converter to the +5 V lines on the MIO-16E board. Set switch SW1 to the EXT position to draw power from an external +5 V power supply connected to J13. The MIO-16E is fused to provide 5 W of power (at +5 V and 1 A). The SC-2040 consumes nearly all of this available power. Therefore, if you have other DAQ accessories that you wo
