Chapter 2 Configuration and Installation Figure 2-2. SCXI-1121 Detailed Parts Locator Diagram The jumpers are used as follows: • Fixed jumpers – On Revision A and B modules, jumper W32 is unused and should not be connected. – Jumper W45 is reserved and should not be reconfigured. – On Revision A and B modules, jumper W44 carries the SLOT0SEL* signal from the rear signal connector, after buffering, to the SCXIbus INTR* line and should be left in the factory-set position (position 1). On Revi

Chapter 2 Configuration and Installation On Revision C or later modules, jumper W44 does not exist. SLOT0SEL* is always buffered to the INTR* line. Jumper W38 Position 1 connects, after buffering, the SCXIbus MISO line to the SERDATOUT pin of the rear signal connector. In this setting, along with the proper setting of W32, the data acquisition board can read the Module ID Register of the SCXI-1121. See the Timing Requirements and Communication Protocol section later in this chapter, and Cha
