CA-1000
The National Instruments CA-1000 is a configurable enclosure designed for maximum user-defined I/O connectivity and flexibility. It is a portable enclosure for laptop, desktop, and rack-mount applications. The user can install many NI accessories in the NI CA-1000, such as the SC-204x signal conditioning products, and the SCB-68, CB-68LPR, and CB-50LP terminal blocks. The result is a compact, portable, flexible, and comprehensive signal conditioning/interconnection system. The CA-1000 also facilitates quick connection and disconnection with standard I/O connectors for easy system integration and reconfiguration. By adding interface panelettes, such as toggle switches, potentiometers, and LEDs, the user can control and verify system operation locally.

Interface Panelettes
National Instruments also offers interface panelettes, which expand the functionality of the CA-1000. Interface panelettes include traditional interface controls and displays, such as rocker switches, toggle switches, momentary switches, potentiometers, and LEDs. Using interface panelettes, which are mounted alongside I/O panelettes, you can change hardware inputs, trigger events, or verify operational status. Each interface panelette includes lead wires for connection to the screw terminals of the accessory mounted inside the CA-1000.
