How to Mount One Module to Another
For systems that make use of several data acquisition modules, stacking units together conserves space and
simplifies cable runs. Such stacking can be facilitated with dual-lock tabs or splice plates.
• Dual-lock tabs. Dual-lock tabs, often referred to as Velcro, ® provide a means of temporarily
stacking modules together. The tabs provide a convenient way to quickly add modules to [or remove
modules from] a system. Dual-lock tabs are often used to attach a notebook PC to a module.
• Splice Plate Kits (Fastener Panels). Optional Splice Plate Kits, also referred to as Fastener Panels,
are available through the factory. The kits include metal plates that screw into the sides of modules to
form a vertical rack of two or more modules. This method allows the “enclosure” to size itself as
needed rather than wasting space in a 1-size-fits-all type of enclosure. A handle can be attached to the
plate for convenience in portable applications.
Note that even when splice plates are used, dual-lock tabs are typically used to attach a notebook PC
to the top-level acquisition module.
