The NI SCXI-1180 is a feedthrough panel that extends unconditioned signal lines from the rear of an SCXI module to the front of the chassis for convenient operator access. This single-slot module routes analog and digital signals without conditioning, supporting daisy-chain extension when paired with compatible cable assemblies. It connects via a 50-pin ribbon cable assembly and integrates with the SCXI-1302 terminal block for signal breakout operations.
