USER GUIDE AND SPECIFICATIONS

NI USB-6525

This user guide describes how to use the National Instruments USB-6525 
data acquisition (DAQ) device.

Introduction

The NI USB-6525 is a full-speed USB 2.0 device that provides 
eight ±60 VDC channel-to-channel isolated digital inputs (DI), 
eight 60 VDC/30 V

rms

 channel-to-channel isolated solid-state relay (SSR) 

outputs, and a 32-bit counter.
