DAQ signal accessory 50-pin I/O not working

[jerlim]

Why is the 50-pin I/O in my 6014 DAQ not working? please help guys

when I use the analog channels available on my signal accessory, it works. however, if I use the analog channels on the 50-pin MIO, it does not work at all.

do i need to enable it or what?

Hi jerlim,

What is your exact setup?  And what exactly are you trying to do? You shouldn't need to specifically enable it.

sir, thanks for the reply.

just want to be sure. i am using this board:

i want to utilize as much analog and digital IO pins. however, it does not work when i use the 50-pin whether NRSE or Differential. it only works when i use the quick connect for analog. in that case, i would be limited to only 2 analog inputs and no digital IO since there are no quick connects for digital IO.

thanks

You aren't making much sense. The 50 pin connectors are for connecting to a 50 pin daq device. You should really be using something like the scb-68 breakout board.

ooh.sorry.i'm still new. so i can't just selectively use some of the pins? (e.g 4 digital IO pins) sorry. my bad 😞

This is pretty old hardware. As Dennis mentioned, you can use a breakout board from the 68-pin D-SUB connector. The SCC-68 is listed under Accessories here. The SCB-68 is here. The SCB-68A is here. The pinouts are in the user manual here. I recommend reading through the different relevant sections of it for more answers.   A link to the Lab/1200 Series support is here.
