Consult the documentation for your SCXI chassis and other SCXI modules
for additional instructions and warnings. You should have installed your
SCXI-1127/1128 modules according to the instructions given in

Installing

the SCXI-1127/1128 Module into the SCXI Chassis

section. Any other

SCXI modules should already be installed according to their installation
instructions. To install the SCXI-1127/1128 module with an SCXI chassis,
follow these steps:

1.

Install the SCXI-1127/1128s in the chassis and install the HVAB as
described in one of the Connecting the SCXI-1127/1128 Backplane
sections.

2.

To connect an SCXI-1127/1128 to an external DMM device, you need
two cables—the HV8-BAN4 or BAN2-WIRE cable, and a cable to
connect the handshaking lines from the SCXI-1127/1128 to the DMM.
Attach your HV8-BAN4 cable to the HVAB connector on the
HVAB-backplane adapter or connect your BAN2-WIRE cable to the
OUT0 terminals on the SCXI-1331 terminal block. When making
four-wire measurements you must also connect a BAN2-WIRE cable
to the OUT2 terminals.

3.

Attach the other end of the HV8-BAN4 or BAN2-WIRE cable to the
inputs of your external DMM device.

4.

Connect the handshaking lines from the front of the SCXI-1331
terminal block to the appropriate lines on the external DMM. See
Chapter 2,

Handshaking Scanning

, for information on how to use the

SCXI-1127/1128 handshaking lines.

5.

Check the installation.

6.

Turn on the SCXI chassis.

7.

Turn on the computer or reconnect it to your chassis.

The SCXI-1127/1128 module is now installed.
