Using the USB-1359 or SCXI-1359 Backplane Adapter Hardware: SCXI>>Chassis>>4 Slot USB Mainframe, SCXI>>Chassis>>12-Slot USB Mainframe
Problem: I am using a NI 1359 but my modules are not being detected. Am I connecting my hardware correctly? Solution: The NI 1359 communication adapter provides an easy way to communicate with your SCXI switch chassis. Two different communication options exist depending on the hardware you are using. The SCXI-1359 allows you to connect your SCXI switch chassis to a NI 407x or 4060 DMM. The USB-1359 allows you to control your SCXI switch chassis with a PC by using a USB cable. Both the SCXI-1359 and the USB-1359 have a connection on the front that allows an external connection to a DMM or a PC. The rear of the 1359 has a 10-pin connector that is used to make a connection to a compatible SCXI switch. A switch module must be inserted into the slot where the 10-pin connector resides to make the connection between the SCXI chassis and the external controlling device (DMM or PC). If a switch is not connected to the 10-pin connector, you will not be able to recognize any switch modules in your SCXI chassis. Refer to Figure 1 to see where these connections are located. Depending on where the USB-1359 is located, a compatible SCXI switch module will need to be in the same slot as the 10-pin connector. If you have a 4-slot SCXI chassis you will need to use slot 2 or slot 4 depending on where the 1359 is installed. For a 12-slot chassis the location of the USB-1359 may vary depending on how the backplane is installed so make sure the 10-pin connector is being used. For more information about how to install and configure the NI Controller/Adapter Kit please refer to the product manual link below.
