What You Need to Get Started
This installation guide describes how to install and configure your
BNC-2115 accessory. If you have not already installed your DAQ device,
refer to the DAQ Quick Start Guide for instructions.
The BNC-2115 is a desktop and DIN rail-mountable BNC adapter you
can connect to data acquisition (DAQ) devices. The BNC-2115 includes
24 BNC connectors and a two-position screw terminal.
The BNC-2115 has one 68-pin connector on the rear panel to connect to
your DAQ device.The 68-pin I/O connector connects to the extended
analog input of 64-channel Multifunction DAQ devices and the extended
digital I/O (DIO) of Multifunction DAQ devices. The BNC-2115 is ideal
for simplifying connections between your measurement apparatus and your
DAQ device in laboratory, test, and production environments.
To set up and use your BNC-2115 accessory, you need the following:
