Connecting Signals
Figure 1-1 shows the front panel for the NI 5911. The front panel contains
three connectors—a BNC connector, an SMB connector, and a 9-pin mini
circular DIN connector.
The BNC connector is for attaching the analog input signal you wish to
measure. The BNC connector is analog input channel 0. The SMB
connector is for external triggers and for generating a probe compensation
signal. The SMB connector is PFI1. The DIN connector gives you access
to an additional external trigger line. The DIN connector can be used to
access PFI2.
