Hello,
If you happen to have the 2002 catalog, you can check out page 490 which has configuration information for multiple SC-2043-SG's.
The key is the SC-2056 board that breaks out the right number of channels to the right SC-2043-SG's.
It sounds like you would like to use the 50-pin connectors on the AMUX-64 to get to the 50-pin connectors on the SC-2043-SG. However, the AMUX boards are programmable in the sense that when you configure your DAQ Board, you can add 1, 2, or 4 AMUX-64's as an accessory. The AMUX-64's know to route their channels through the correct pins to the daq board. This is the main purpose of the 50-pin connectors on the AMUX boards (in addition to exposing counters, and analog output from the DAQ Board).
Cabling the SC-2043-SG i
n to the AMUX-64 would have the AMUX-64 amplifiers driving the same lines that your SC-2043-SG amplifiers are driving. Similarly, chaining the SC boards will have the same result - they will be trying to drive the same lines.
Since the SC-2043-SG's don't have the same chaining functionality built in to them as the AMUX-64's, the pins need to be routed to the right place on the DAQ Board. The SC-2056 that I mentioned does that - it sends the right channels from each SC-2043-SG to the right pins on the DAQ Board.
If you wanted to do some custom cabling, you would want to start at the DAQ Board (in the Connections section of the user manual for your board), and find the pins you want. Then connect those pins to the right ones on each SC-2043-SG (also in the Connections section of the SC-2043-SG user manual).
To the best of my knowledge, the SC-2056 needs one of the 100 pin DAQ Boards to connect to it.
I hope this gets you what you need. I wasn't able to pick out exactly what y
ou need since I couldn't tell what PCI board you are using.
