About This Manual

This manual describes the electrical and mechanical aspects of the SC-2040 and contains

information concerning its configuration and operation. The SC-2040 is an eight-channel

simultaneously sampling differential amplifier for the National Instruments MIO-16E Series

DAQ boards. The SC-2040 samples all eight channels at the same time, preserving interchannel

phase relationships for the MIO-16E.

Organization of This Manual

The SC-2040 User Manual is organized as follows:

• Chapter 1, Introduction, describes the SC-2040, lists what you need to get started with your

SC-2040, describes the optional software and optional equipment, and explains how to

unpack your SC-2040.

• Chapter 2, Configuration and Installation, describes the configuration and installation of

your SC-2040. The topics discussed are switch and jumper configuration, connection of the

SC-2040 to the MIO-16E, and the power-on sequence for your SC-2040 configuration.

• Chapter 3, Signal Connections, describes the signal connections to the SC-2040 board, and

cable wiring.

• Chapter 4, Theory of Operation, contains a functional overview of the SC-2040 board and

explains the operation of each functional unit making up the SC-2040.

• Chapter 5, Calibration Procedures, discusses the calibration procedures for the SC-2040

board.

• Appendix A, Specifications, lists the specifications for the SC-2040.

The National Instruments Documentation Set

The SC-2040 User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your system. You could

have any of several types of manuals, depending on the hardware and software in your system.

Use the manuals you have as follows:

• Your DAQ hardware user manuals–These manuals have detailed information about the DAQ

hardware that plugs into or is connected to your computer. Use these manuals for hardware

installation and configuration instructions, specification information about your DAQ

hardware, and application hints.

• Software manuals–Examples of software manuals you might have are the LabVIEW and

LabWindows®manual sets and the NI-DAQ manuals. After you set up your hardware

system, use either the application software (LabVIEW or LabWindows) manuals or the

NI-DAQ manuals to help you write your application. If you have a large and complicated

system, it is worthwhile to look through the software manuals before you configure your

hardware.

• Accessory manuals–If you are using accessory products, read the terminal block and cable

assembly installation guides or accessory board user manuals. They explain how to

physically connect the relevant pieces of the system together. Consult these guides when you

are making your connections.
