The following table lists possible topologies for an NI 2812 NI SwitchBlock device. Refer
to Initializing with Topology for NI SwitchBlock Devices for information about using the
Configured Topology and NISWITCH_TOPOLOGY_CONFIGURED_TOPOLOGY software names.
Note You must connect pin 96 (INTERLOCK ENABLE) to pin
48 (GND) with a 500 Ω resistor (500 Ω ±20%, 1/10 W minimum) to allow connection to
the analog bus. Refer to the NI SwitchBlock Safety Interlock topic for additional
information about this safety feature.
