Current-Loop Receivers
The VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodules have pads for transforming
individual channels to current-to-voltage converters. National
Instruments offers an SCXI Process Current Resistor Kit of four 249 ,
0.1%, 5 ppm, 1/4 W resistors. The reference designators for the current
loop resistors have the following format: for input channel x, the
resistor is RCLx. For example, the resistor for channel 28 is RCL28.
Caution: Before installing the resistors in your submodule, make sure that there are
no signals connected to your submodule front connector.
Install the resistors by performing the following steps:
1. Follow the instructions in the VXI-SC-1000 Carrier Module
Installation Guide to remove your VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodule
from the carrier assembly.
2. Bend and trim the resistor lead as shown in Figure 2-2. Be sure that
the resistor does not extend more than 0.65 in. above the surface of
the circuit board.
Figure 2-2.

3. Insert the resistor into the appropriate pad, labeled RCLx.
4. Solder the leads to the pad on the bottom side of the module.
5. Follow the instructions in the VXI-SC-1000 Carrier Module
Installation Guide to replace the VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodule in
the carrier assembly.
