Digital Flying Lead Cable
Accessory for Single-Ended NI Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzers
The NI SHC68-H1X38 cable is a single-ended cable that breaks out each
NI digital waveform generator/analyzer signal into two 0.1 inch header
receptacles, one receptacle each for the signal and ground. The
NI SHC68-H1X38 cable provides an easy way to connect NI single-ended
high-speed digital waveform generator/analyzer devices to various types of
devices and circuits for interfacing, test

Using Your Accessory The NI SCH68-H1X38 cable breaks out every signal through a 50Ω characteristic impedance microcoaxial cable, which is then split into the two leads with receptacles. This cable was designed for both acquisition and generation operations with your single-ended NI digital waveform generator/analyzer. Refer to the Termination sections in the NI Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzer Help to learn how to correctly terminate your signals to achieve optimal signal quality. For o
