SCXI Hardware

[rohrdt]

I am working a project where we want to measure temperature and pressure with LabVIEW. The pressure transducers put out a 4-20mA signal. My customer already has the following equipment. SCXI 1001 chassis, (2) 1120 modules, a 1320 terminal block and a 1328 terminal block. I am fairly new to the hardware side of this but it appears to me that I can use the 1328 with an 1120 module for the temps and the 1320 with the other 1120 module for the transducers with the 4-20mA signal. Are my assumptions correct? Also is the SCXI-1001 chassis powered by battery?
Thanks for any help

Your assumptions regarding the terminal block/module combination are right. However, ensure the spec. for your thermocouple and transducer matches the spec. for the modules. You can get the spec. sheet for the hardwares on NI website. The SCXI system is easy to work once you configure the channels properly with MAX. I think you will need a 1200 module to connect the system to a computer. SCXI-1001 mainframe that I've worked with run on AC supply.

I'm not sure I understand why I need a 1200 module. I just thought I needed a DAQ card.
