looking for info to allow connection between a PC and E-series daq card to a SCXI rack inside a NEMA 12 encl.

[simpsjf]

were looking at an application where an SCXI rack will be installed on some equipment that will be used during different tests. the rack will be enclosed inside a NEMA 12, steel junction box for proctection. i want to build or buy a bulkhead connector to allow connection to a PC for data collection during the test.
if i had more info on the 68-pin connector (manuf., p/n, etc.) i could probably build my own. but before i do that i want to make sure that there hasn't something like that already on the market.

Here is a KB that contains most of the information about NIs customer cables, part numbers and manufacturers.

My suggestion would be to take the SCXI 1349 and use it as a bulkhead connector. Then use a standard 50 pin ribbon cable to connect the 1349 to the SCXI module.

I hope this helps.
