SCC Quick Start Guide
Step 1. Unpack the Carrier and Modules
This document explains how to install and configure National Instruments
Signal Conditioning Components (SCC) modules with NI-DAQmx. SCC
modules work with NI M Series, E Series, and B Series DAQ devices. This
document assumes you have already installed, configured, and tested the
data acquisition (DAQ) device you will connect to the SC-2345/2350
carrier. If you have not done so, refer to the DAQ Getting Started Guide
included with the DAQ device, available on the NI-DAQ CD, and from
before continuing.

families of related device model numbers.
SCC-AIXX—refers to the SCC-AI01, SCC-AI02, SCC-AI03, SCC-AI04,
SCC-AI05, SCC-AI06, SCC-AI07, SCC-AI13, and SCC-AI14.
SCC-LPXX—refers to the SCC-LP01, SCC-LP02, SCC-LP03, and
SCC-LP04.
SCC-TC0X—refers to the SCC-TC01 and SCC-TC02.
SCC-XX—refers to any SCC module.
SCC-SGXX—refers to the SCC-SG01, SCC-SG02, SCC-SG03,
SCC-SG04, and SCC-SG24.
Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for loose
components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the module appears
damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged module into the carrier.
For safety and compliance information, refer to the device documentation
