Description
The SCB-68, a product designed by National Instruments, is identified by part numbers 776844-01 and 782914-01. This device stands out as a shielded I/O connector block, specifically engineered for enhanced performance and compatibility. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with 68-pin X Series, M Series, E Series, B Series, S Series, and R Series DAQ devices, showcasing its wide-ranging adaptability.
One of the SCB-68’s notable features includes two general-purpose breadboard areas, which provide users with the flexibility to develop custom circuits or interfaces tailored to their specific needs. The inclusion of a cold-junction compensation sensor further elevates its utility in temperature measurement applications, ensuring accuracy with a temperature sensor accuracy of ±1.0 °C (0 to 110 °C), and a sensitivity of 10 mV/°C.
Power efficiency is another cornerstone of the SCB-68’s design. It operates on a typical power requirement of 1 mA at +5 VDC, while its maximum consumption does not exceed 800 mA from the host computer, thus ensuring it does not place a significant burden on the system’s power resources.
For ease of configuration and setup, the SCB-68 interfaces with the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), National Instruments’ configuration tool. This facilitates a user-friendly experience for setting up and managing the device. The unit accepts a wide range of wire gauges from 14-30 AWG, providing ample flexibility for different wiring needs, and includes a 68-pin male SCSI I/O connector for establishing robust connections.
Dimensionally, the SCB-68 measures 7.7 x 6.0 x 1.8 inches and weighs 13 oz, making it a compact yet durable option for both lab and field applications. Its design and build quality adhere to National Instruments’ high standards, ensuring reliability and longevity for professional use.
