Connecting BNC-2121 or 2120 to various cards

[dvt729]

I have a PXI-6251 DAQ and a PXI-7854R FPGA. I also have breakout boxes BNC-2120 and BNC-2121. Which of these combinations can I connect? And what cable do I use to connect them?

I know that I can use a BNC-2120 and PXI-6251 together, I've been using that combination for a few years. But I can't seem to find the right place on ni.com that will tell me which pairs will work together, and what cable I need to make the connection. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Please take a look at these documents as they explain what cards are compatible with the BNC blocks and explain which cables are necessary!

Insider tip: Use an external search engine such as Google to find NI documentation instead of ni.com. It's much quicker and does a better job finding the correct info!
