National Instruments SCXI-1313A Terminal Block

The SCXI-1313A (Part Number: 777687-13A) can be used with the SCXI-1125 module. This Shielded Terminal Block has 18 screw terminals that ensure simple signal connection with the module. The items required to use the SCXI 1313A include: the Terminal Block, the SCXI-1125 module, an SCXI or PXI/SCXI combination chassis, cabling and sensors necessary (based on the user’s application), a wire insulation stripper, a wire cutter, long nose pliers, Number 1 and 2 Philips-head screwdrivers, and a 1/8 in. flathead screwdriver. The user also needs the documentation/manuals for each device being used to guarantee proper and safe installation of the Terminal Block.

The user should keep in mind that SCXI-1313 is the designator for the SCXI-1313 and the SCXI-1313A in Measurement & Automation Explorer and NI-DAQ software. The calibration EEPROM on the Terminal Block saves calibration constants that give software correction values. The values are then utilized by the application development software to adjust the measurements for gain mistakes within the attenuation circuitry. The user can use an average for a huge number of samples to acquire the most precise reading. Loud conditions necessitate a high number of samples for more preciseness.

The National Instruments SCXI 1313A Terminal Block is a CAT II Measurement category instrument with an input range of 150 Vrms or VDC. This model has 8 input channels, a thermistor cold-junction sensor, an output of 1.91 to 0.65 V from 0 to 50 °C, and a strain relief bar at the terminal-block entrance.

SCXI-1313A Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the Terminal Block will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.
