Chapter 2 Configuration and Installation The SCXI-1163 can accept data in two forms–serial and parallel. Serial data is transferred across the SCXIbus using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. Using serial communication, one data acquisition board that is cabled to one SCXI module in an SCXI system can control the digital communication for all the boards in the system. Parallel data is read from the rear connector and transferred directly to the outputs at the front connector. No
