National Instruments Corporation 14-3 DAQ Hardware Overview Guide
If you use the SCXI-1200 DAQ module in multiplexed mode, it also has
access to the multiplexed output of all analog input modules in the chassis
that are operated in multiplexed mode.
If you use an MIO or AI device, Lab or 1200 device (except for the
DAQPad-1200), or an SCXI-1200 DAQ module, you can multiplex all the
analog input channels in the SCXI chassis to one onboard channel
dynamically during a timed acquisition. The SCXI functions program the
chassis with a module scan list that dynamically controls which module
sends its output to the SCXIbus during a scan. You can specify that the
modules be scanned in any order and specify an arbitrary number of
channels for each module; however, the channels on each module must be
scanned in consecutive, ascending order.
By default, when you cable a DAQ device to a multiplexed module, the
multiplexed output of the module (and all other multiplexed modules in the
chassis) appears at analog input channel 0 of the DAQ device.
You can use more than one SCXI chassis connected by a cable with one
MIO or AI device (except parallel ports) if the modules operate in
multiplexed mode. You must use one SCXI-1346 multichassis adapter for
each additional chassis (refer to your SCXI module user manuals). You also
should set a unique address for each chassis. The multichassis adapter
scheme sends the output of the module in the first chassis to analog input
channel 0 of the MIO or AI device, the output of the module in the second
chassis to analog input channel 1 of the MIO or AI device, and so on. When
you want to acquire data from the additional chassis, you must specify the
correct onboard MIO or AI device channel in the channel scan list that you
pass to the SCAN functions.
You can operate the SCXI-1100, SCXI-1101, SCXI-1102, and SCXI-1122
modules only in multiplexed mode.
Multiplexed Mode for the SCXI-1200
In multiplexed mode, the SCXI-1200 can access the analog bus on the
SCXI backplane. When you configure other analog input modules in the
chassis for multiplexed mode, the SCXI functions can multiplex their input
channels and send them on the analog bus on the SCXI backplane. So, if
you configure the SCXI-1200 for multiplexed mode, you can use it to read
the multiplexed output from other SCXI analog input modules in the
chassis. In addition, you can multiplex the analog input channels on the
