The National Instruments 777960-01 is a shielded connector block known as the BNC-2120, engineered for robust connection and interface with a range of National Instruments devices. Designed to handle multiple I/O signals, the 777960-01 facilitates easy connectivity through its arrangement of BNC connectors, which includes eight differential analog input channels accessible via eight BNC connectors, along with two BNC connectors designated for analog output and digital I/O signals. To expand digital connectivity, the device incorporates screw terminals accommodating additional digital I/O signals. Compatible with National Instruments X Series, S Series, E Series, NI 671x, and M Series devices, this connector block serves as an effective interface for Multifunction I/O DAQ modules and analog output devices.

The 777960-01 offers a comprehensive set of features, including a 68-pin input/output connector for interfacing with 68-pin devices and support for 100-pin E Series connections. In addition to a shielded design, the connector block includes a quadrature encoder and an onboard temperature reference for precise measurements. It is equipped with a thermocouple connector and additional screw terminals that enable resistance measurements ranging from 100 Ω to 1 MΩ. The built-in function generator is capable of producing varied signal waveforms, enhancing its versatility in different applications. It is crucial to connect the 777960-01 exclusively to National Instruments E/M/S/X Series multifunction DAQ devices to prevent potential damage to the block, the DAQ device, or the host computer. The 777960-01 connector block is an optimal solution for applications requiring reliable and flexible data acquisition and control capabilities.
