Using R9696 with SCXI 1303

[AryaChatterjee]

Hello all,&nbsp;I have a SCXI 1303 TC terminal box which is connected to a SCXI 1102 in a SCXI 1000 chassis.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem is that my experiment is far from this chassis and we have to run many thermocouples to it (which apart from other things, makes a huge mess). I would like to use a R9696 ribbon cable to connect the 1303 unit to the 1102 card instead of buying a TBX-1303 box. Can this be done? Can I use a <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/1608" target="_blank">R9696</a> to connect to the terminal at the side of a <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/1689" target="_blank">SCXI 1303 </a>block and connect the other end to the SCXI 1102 card? &nbsp;Please help.

Hello All,&nbsp;I called up NI and the engineer told me that it is indeed possible to connect the SCXI 1303 to the R9696 cable.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks to Thomas from NI&nbsp;&nbsp;
