Configurable Signal Conditioning Enclosure Overview The National Instruments CA-1000 is a configurable enclosure designed for maximum user-defined I/O connectivity and flexibility. It is a portable enclosure for laptop, desktop, and rack-mount applications. Y ou can install many NI accessories in the NI CA-1000, such as the SC-204x signal conditioning products, and the SCB-68, CB-68LPR, and CB-50LP terminal blocks. The result is a compact, portable, flexible, and comprehensive signal conditioning/interconnection system. The CA-1000 also facilitates quick connection and disconnection with standard I/O connectors for easy system integration and reconfiguration. By adding interface panelettes, such as toggle switches, potentiometers, and LEDs, you can control and verify system operation locally. CA-1000 Enclosure The metal enclosure provides a low-profile, portable housing for signal conditioning and connector accessories. Y ou can place the enclosure under a laptop PC, on a benchtop, or in a 19 in. rack. You can also stack two or more enclosures with the stacking kit. The CA-1000 enclosure includes five cable entry options, so you can place the 68-pin or 50-pin connector for the cable to your DAQ device on either the side or the rear of the CA-1000 enclosure. Please note that the CA-1000 is shipped without any panelettes, signal conditioning accessories, connector blocks, or cables. These components must be ordered separately. Internal Accessories The CA-1000 houses a variety of signal conditioning and data acquisition accessories, including the SC-204x, SCB-68, CB-68LPR, and CB-50LP . Y ou mount these accessories using hardware in the bottom panel of the CA-1000 enclosure. T o install the SCB-68 in the CA-1000, you must first remove it from its own metal enclosure. I/O Panelettes The CA-1000 includes a user-configurable signal connection scheme. This connectivity flexibility is achieved with interchangeable panelettes. The panelettes, which come with standard signal connectors – for example, BNC, SMB, banana jack, thermocouple plugs, and LEMO, MIL-Spec, and 9-pin D-Sub connectors – mount in the front of the CA-1000 enclosure. The CA-1000 front panel offers nine panelette slots. The rear panel can also be removed offering nine more panelette slots. However, this option is not available if you are using the SCB-68 inside the CA-1000. Y ou can mix and match different types of panelettes. Each panelette (except for the strain-relief panel) includes lead wires that you connect to the screw terminals of the accessory mounted inside the CA-1000. Y ou can therefore connect the panelettes to any I/O signal available on the accessory.
