can i use a scxi-1124 in the same chassis in where i have 5x scxi-1163R and 2x scxi-1162HV?

Hello!

I have a ni-6503 digital board on my computer. This board is linked to the scxi 1001 chassis, in where i have 5x scxi-1163R and 2x scxi-1162HV modules (all digital modules). Now, we need to add a new scxi-1124 analog module. My question is if i can use the same chassis and plug the new analog module, and still using the same ni-6503 board to work with them. Or maybe i will need a new board and new chassis?

Thanks in advance,

Ruzz

Hi Ruzz

First of all, you can connect all the boards you have, including SCXI-1124 to the same SCXI chassis. The best way to verify this is using National Instrument advisor web page linked below:

Select Configurador SCXI and then the chassis and boards you have. As you will see, there isn’t any incompatibility issue.

On the other hand, as regards Chassis Communicator, I mean, NI-6503 board, it can’t be used to acquire analog signals. I think you can change this board to a, say, M-Series one. If you want to keep you digital 6503 board, you should purchase a new SCXI chassis and another PCI board to communicate.

I hope this information helps you.
