Chapter 1 Introduction The VXI-SC-1000 is a carrier module that installs into a slot in a VXIbus chassis and is populated with one or two submodules. The VXI-SC-1102/B/C is a submodule that installs into VXI-SC subslots on a VXI-SC-1000 carrier module. Your VXI-SC-1000 carrier module is shipped with a filler panel installed in one of the submodule sites. This filler panel is necessary for the attachment of the front panel, so you should leave it in place until you are ready to install a VX

Chapter 1 Introduction 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 s

Chapter 2 Installation Current-Loop Receivers The VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules have pads for transforming individual channels to current-to-voltage converters. National Instruments offers an SCXI Process Current Resistor Kit of four 249 Ω, 0.1%, 5 ppm, 1/4 W resistors. The reference designators for the current loop resistors have the following format: for input channel x, the resistor is RCLx. For example, the resistor for channel 28 is RCL28. Caution: Before installing the resistors in your
