Interface Panelettes

National Instruments also offers interface panelettes, which expand

the functionality of the CA-1000. Interface panelettes include

traditional interface controls and displays, such as rocker switches,

toggle switches, momentary switches, potentiometers, and LEDs.

Using interface panelettes, which are mounted alongside I/O

panelettes, you can change hardware inputs, trigger events, or verify

operational status. Each interface panelette includes lead wires for

connection to the screw terminals of the accessory mounted inside

the CA-1000.

Cabling

The cabling needed to connect the CA-1000 to the measurement

device depends on the accessories installed in the CA-1000 and the

measurement device used. Some accessories installed in the CA-1000

require internal cabling to connect the accessory to the CA-1000 wall.

Use Table 1 to determine which cabling components you need,

including the cable to your measurement device.

The CA-1000 also provides the flexibility of five external

interconnection locations, giving convenient cabling for laptop

applications by aligning the I/O connector with the location of the

PCMCIA slots on laptop computers. With the five external

interconnection locations, you can also customize desktop and rack-

mount applications for added convenience.
