SCB-68 Reference Label for M series devices

[ZeK]

What's the difference between the SCB-68 Reference Label M series devices connector 0 and connector 1? I'm installing a NI PCI-6221-M series Multifunction DAQ and the SCB-68 connector block, and I don't know how to make the physical connections. With the SCB-68 kit, I received the Reference Label for the E-series devices. In the NI site, there is info about the connector 0, but what is the connector 0 and connector 1?

Thanks,

ZeK

Good question Zek. The M series family uses a smaller version of the 68-pin connector used on E series so that two connectors can be located on the same board. The second connector is available on certain M seriies boards in order to provide connectivity to additional channels. In the case of the 6221, there is only one connector.

The 6221 is fully compatible with the SCB-68. The following link provides a revised version of the SCB-68 label adapted for M Series devices:

For pinout specific to a particular M Series device, you can refer to the M series help available at either one of the following locations:
