– Compatibility & Integration
The CA-1000 integrates with 68-pin E Series DAQ devices, DAQCards, and PCI/PXI devices. CB-50LP, SC-204x, and SC-207x accessories require ribbon cabling for external connections. The SCB-68 must be removed from its original housing prior to CA-1000 installation. Specific cabling component requirements depend on installed accessories and target DAQ device; detailed recommendations are provided in the NI CA-1000 Installation Guide.
