i'm using SCXI 1180- how to address additional channels

[Rebecca Walter]

I'm using SCXI 1180 connected to an SCXI-1000 for which i'm using the obx!scy!mdz!channels. i have the defaut setting on differential as these channels are to be differential. Now i've attached a breakout connector from the SCXI 1180 to a SCXI 1302 module increase the number of channels. How do i address these channels?- Since they're not multiplexed can i just call the 1,2,3... Also these channels should be Reference Single Ended. When i changed the analog configurations VI to make them reference single ended i got an error message. How do i set up the system for these extra channels?


THANKS MUCH!!!!!!

Rebecca,

The SCXI-1180 is just a feed-through panel for a DAQ board. Therefore, it doesn't really use the SCXI format for channel strings. It allows you a direct connection to the DAQ board.

You would use it exactly as you would if you were wiring directly to the DAQ board; this means you would just use the string "0" for channel 0, "1" for channel 1, etc.

You're probably getting the error when you try to set the channels to singe ended because you're referencing them as SCXI channels.

Let me know if you need more help.
