Pin Map Connections

Pin map connections enable you to specify routing between instrument channels and DUTs (devices under test). Refer to the following section for information on configuring pin map connections.

Note NI recommends using the Connections Table in the Pin Map Editor to configure connections settings. This view shows all available routing options in your pin map.

Select the top-level Connections section within the Pin Map tab of the Pin Map Editor to display the connections table.

Filtering the Connections Table View

Use the View Connections For: drop-down to filter connections based on the desired connection type.

Changing Connection Configurations

The connections table enables you to edit connection settings for all defined connections. Use the drop-down controls in each row to change connections for each pin map connection.
Note You do not have to connect to every pin in your pin map, but you might receive a warning message for unconnected pins.
