National Instruments Corporation 14-21 DAQ Hardware Overview Guide
Lab and 1200 Devices (Except Parallel Port Devices)
These DAQ devices support the following analog input functionality when
using the SCXI analog input modules:
• Single-channel analog input using the analog input functions described
in Chapter 3, Software Overview, of the NI-DAQ User Manual for PC
Compatibles.
• Single-channel data acquisition using the data acquisition functions
described in Chapter 3, Software Overview, of the NI-DAQ User
Manual for PC Compatibles.
• The Lab and 1200 devices support continuous and interval scanning on
all analog input modules in both multiplexed and parallel mode.
It is important to remember that when a DAQ device is cabled to an SCXI
module, some of the device resources will be reserved for SCXI use. The
following resources are reserved by SCXI:
• Lab and 1200 devices digital I/O lines PB4 to PB7 are used as output
communication lines to SCXI. If the SCXI-1200 is the only module in
the chassis, these communication lines are not needed, and they are not
reserved by NI-DAQ.
• Lab and 1200 devices digital I/O line PC1 is used as an input
communication line to SCXI. The remaining lines of these ports are
available for input only. If the SCXI-1200 is the only module in the
chassis, these communication lines are not needed, and they are not
reserved by NI-DAQ.
• When you use an SCXI-1140 module, counter B1 of the Lab or
1200 devices controls the track/hold state of the module. When the
module is not set up for an input operation, these counters are available
for general use; otherwise, they are reserved. Refer to the
SCXI_Track_Hold_Setup function description in the NI-DAQ
Function Reference Online Help for more information.
• The SCXI-1100 module drives analog input channel 0 of the DAQ
device; if you use the SCXI-1300 terminal block with the temperature
sensor in the DTEMP configuration, the SCXI-1100 also drives analog
input channel 1. The SCXI-1200 cannot read the temperature sensor in
DTEMP mode because it reads all analog voltages off the analog lines
of the SCXIbus backplane.
• The SCXI-1120, SCXI-1120D, and SCXI-1125 modules drive analog
input channels 0 to 7, even if you are operating the module in
multiplexed mode. In addition, if the temperature sensor on the
terminal block is in the DTEMP configuration, the SCXI-1120 also
drives analog input channel 15. Notice that a Lab or 1200 device
