Cable Assembly
Installation Guide
Part Number 320623-01
This guide describes how to install the SCXI-1342 PC-LPM-16 cable assembly between an
SCXI module and a data acquisition board. In addition to the SCXI-1342 kit contents, you will
need an SCXI chassis, an SCXI module, a computer, a data acquisition board, and a small
flathead screwdriver.
Introduction
With the SCXI-1342 PC-LPM-16 cable assembly, you can connect your PC-LPM-16 data
acquisition board to the following SCXI modules: the SCXI-1100, SCXI-1120, SCXI-1121,
SCXI-1140, SCXI-1160, SCXI-1161, SCXI-1162, and SCXI-1163. If you have a newly released
module that is not in this list, contact National Instruments for information on your cable needs.
The SCXI-1342 cable assembly consists of a 50-conductor NB1 ribbon cable and an adapter
board. Use the ribbon cable to connect the I/O connector of the PC-LPM-16 to the adapter board
rear connector, which has latches. The adapter board also has a female right-angle module
connector that plugs into the rear of the SCXI module. In addition, the adapter board has an
extra male breakout connector that provides the unmodified signals of the PC-LPM-16 for use
with other accessories. For example, you can connect this male breakout connector to an
SCXI-1180 feedthrough panel to bring the PC-LPM-16 pinout to the front of your SCXI chassis.

Figure 1. Connecting the SCXI-1342 to Your Data Acquisition Board and SCXI Module
Perform the following steps to install the SCXI-1342 cable:
1. Turn off the power to your computer and the SCXI chassis.
2. Install your SCXI module in the SCXI chassis, following the instructions in your module
user manual.
3. Set jumper W1 on the SCXI-1342 adapter board to the correct position for your system, as
shown in Figure 2. When set to position A, the factory-default position, jumper W1 connects
pin 46 of the PC-LPM-16 to pin 46 of the module connector. Position B breaks this
connection. Leave jumper W1 in position A unless you are using an SCXI-1140 module and
are not supplying the HOLDTRIG signal to the module from the PC-LPM-16. See your
SCXI-1140 User Manual for an explanation of the HOLDTRIG signal.

5. Secure the SCXI-1342 adapter board by screwing the two screws through the rear panel of
the adapter board and into the threaded strips in the rear of the SCXI chassis.
6. Install your data acquisition board in a slot in your computer, following the instructions in
your data acquisition board user manual.
7. Connect one end of the NB1 cable to the rear connector of the adapter board.
8. Connect the loose end of the NB1 cable to the I/O connector on the PC-LPM-16 as shown in
the detail in Figure 3.
The finished installation should look like Figure 3.
