Hi, I'm trying to use a PCI-6229 for 4 analog outputs (call them AO0-AO3) and 4 analog inputs (call them AI0-AI3), where the 2 connector blocks I've got are the BNC-2110 and CB-68LP.
Right now they're wired like this:
1. BNC-2110 plugged into Connector 0 (AI 0-15) of the PCI-6229
2. CB-68LP plugged into Connector 1 (AI 16-31) of the PCI-6229
The BNC-2110 part of things works perfectly. I'm using it successfully for 2 analog outputs, and for all 4 of the analog inputs. The connection was intuitively straightforward, by choosing the PCI-6229's AO0 and AO1 channel assignments in the LabVIEW DAQ Assistant, and simply plugging in my wiring into the AO0 and AO1 BNC terminals of the BNC-2110 connector block.
However, I can't figure out how to wire the CB-68LP for analog output to the AO2 and AO3 channels.
My basic, stripped down testing approach so far has been using the NI Measurement & Automation Explorer:
- I open the dialog box that says "Test Panels: NI PCI-6229: 'Dev 1'"
- I click on the "Analog Output" section, and choose from the "Channel Name" dropdown box
- I've got the "Dev1/ao0" and "Dev1/ao1" channels working with the AO0 and AO1 terminals of the BNC-2110, respectively
- but can't figure out how to wire the CB-68LP to work with the "Dev1/ao2"and "Dev1/ao3" channels
I believe at least part of my problem is that I can't find a pin-out assignment diagram for the CB-68LP.
Solved! Go to Solution.
