The SCXI chassis supply power to and contain control circuitry for the SCXI series of modules. The SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1000DC hold up to four modules. The SCXI-1001 holds up to 12 modules. This chapter describes the SCXI chassis, lists what you need to get started, and describes the optional software and equipment.
Chapter 1 Introduction – One of the following, depending on your application: • Power cord (120, 220, or 240 VAC) • SCXI-1382 battery pack (SCXI-1000DC only) • SCXI-1383 (VDC) power supply (SCXI-1000DC only) – A computer ❑ Software – NI-DAQ –...
Visual Basic, is a development suite that allows you to design test and measurement applications. For Visual Basic developers, Measurement Studio features a set of ActiveX controls for using National Instruments DAQ hardware. These ActiveX controls provide a high-level programming interface for building virtual instruments (VIs).
Chapter 1 Introduction National Instruments Documentation The SCXI Chassis User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for the data acquisition and SCXI system. You could have any of several types of documents, depending on the hardware and software in the system. Use the documents you have as follows: •...

SCXI-1000DC Chassis Address Jumper Settings Changing the Chassis Address While referring to Figures 2-2 and 2-6, complete the following steps to change the chassis address of the SCXI-1000DC: Power off the chassis and remove the power cord from the power entry module.
Chapter 2 Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis Selecting Voltage and Replacing the Fuse for the SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001 If you ordered the chassis with the appropriate part number (the -0x extension of the kit part number corresponds to your geographical region), the voltage tumbler and fuse are correct for operation in your geographical region.

SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001 In addition to the power entry module fuse, the analog supply lines on the backplane are fused at 1.5 A on the SCXI-1000 chassis and at 4 A on the SCXI-1001 chassis. If you are making your own modules, fuse the module at 250 mA to avoid blowing the backplane fuses.
Chapter 2 Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis Replacing and Checking Backplane Fuses In addition to the power entry and the +5 V supply fuses, the analog supply lines on the backplane are fused at 1.5 A on the SCXI-1000DC chassis. If you design a special/prototype module, use the SCXI-1181 module and fuse the module at 250 mA to avoid blowing the analog backplane and +5 V supply fuses.
Installing the SCXI Chassis These sections provide information about installing the SCXI chassis. Installing the SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001 Chassis Complete the following steps to install the SCXI-1000 and SCXI-1001 chassis: If necessary, change the chassis address of the box by following the...
Chapter 2 Configuring and Installing the SCXI Chassis Make sure the voltage of the power source is between 9.5 and 16 VDC. Insert the power plug into the header J1. Revision A SCXI-1000DC chassis have screw terminals on the rear panel to Caution connect the power source.
