Configurable Signal Conditioning Enclosure
Interface Panelettes
National Instruments also offers interface panelettes, which expand
the functionality of the CA-1000. Interface panelettes include
traditional interface controls and displays, such as rocker switches,
toggle switches, momentary switches, potentiometers, and LEDs.
Using interface panelettes, which are mounted alongside I/O
panelettes, you can change hardware inputs, trigger events, or verify
operational status. Each interface panelette includes lead wires for
connection to the screw terminals of the accessory mounted inside
the CA-1000.
Cabling
The cabling needed to connect the CA-1000 to the measurement
device depends on the accessories installed in the CA-1000 and the
measurement device used. Some accessories installed in the CA-1000
require internal cabling to connect the accessory to the CA-1000 wall.
Use Table 1 to determine which cabling components you need,
including the cable to your measurement device.
The CA-1000 also provides the flexibility of five external
interconnection locations, giving convenient cabling for laptop
applications by aligning the I/O connector with the location of the
PCMCIA slots on laptop computers. With the five external
interconnection locations, you can also customize desktop and rack-
mount applications for added convenience.
