2. Module Programming
This section describes the programming steps for various scanning
possibilities. For all the bit patterns in this section, S
possibilities. For all the bit patterns in this section, S
c
signifies the shunt
calibration bit. If you set this bit to one, the module will be scanned in Shunt
Calibration mode. If you clear this bit to zero, shunt calibration will be
disabled on the module during scanning. When programming a module to
change the shunt calibration mode from disabled to enabled or vice versa,
insert a delay before you make any measurements. If the SCXI-1121 has a
filter setting at 10 kHz, the delay should be at least 1 msec. If the
SCXI-1121 has the filter set at 4 Hz, the delay should be at least 1 sec.

Single-Module Parallel Scanning
In order to perform single-module parallel scanning, you must cable the
SCXI-1121 rear signal connector to a data acquisition board with each
output connected to a different data acquisition board channel. See
Chapter 2,

To program the SCXI-1121 for single-module parallel scanning, write the
binary pattern

to the SCXI-1121 Configuration
Register. Notice that this can be the RESET state.
