NI USB-6008/6009 User Guide and Specifications

I/O Connector

The NI USB-6008/6009 ships with one detachable screw terminal block for 
analog signals and one detachable screw terminal block for digital signals. 
These terminal blocks provide 16 connections that use 16 AWG to 
28 AWG wire.

Table 3 lists the analog terminal assignments, and Table 4 lists the digital 
terminal assignments.
