NI SCXI-1160/1161 Jumpers
All five jumpers on the NI SCXI-1160/1161 are for digital communication between the controller and the NI SCXI-1160/1161 module. Only one module per chassis is connected to the controller, which allows communication with all other modules. Only the jumper settings on the NI SCXI-1160/1161 module are relevant. If the controller is not cabled to the module, do not change the jumper settings.
The NI SCXI-1160/1161 has two jumpers that are dedicated for communication between the NI SCXI-1160/1161 and the controller. On the NI SCXI-1160, these jumpers are W1 and W5. On the NI SCXI-1161, these jumpers are W1 and W2.
In addition, the NI SCXI-1160/1161 has three jumpers that indicate to the module what type of controller is connected to its rear connector. On the NI SCXI-1160, these jumpers are W2, W3, and W4. On the NI SCXI-1161, these jumpers are W3, W4, and W5. For modules not cabled to a controller, the jumper settings are irrelevant.

Note Do not change the jumper settings if you intend to control the NI SCXI-1160/1161 with a DIO device. |
Jumper Settings
The following sections list possible jumper settings for the NI SCXI-1160/1161.
NI SCXI-1160
Factory settings are in bold.
| W1 | 1-22-3 |
| W2 | DIO (controller is DIO device) MIO (controller is E Series, NI 4021, or National Instruments DMM) |
| W3 | DIO (controller is DIO device) MIO (controller is E Series, NI 4021, or National Instruments DMM) |
| W4 | DIO (controller is DIO device) MIO (controller is E Series, NI 4021, or National Instruments DMM) |
| W5 | 1-2 2-3 |
Set W2, W3 and W4 according to the controller.
- For a single chassis, set W1 and W5 to 1-2.
- For multiple chassis, complete the following steps:
- Set W1 and W5 to 1-2 on all modules connected to the controller.
- Set W1 to 2-3 on all other modules.
