Warning
The BNC-2142 is not designed for input voltages greater than ±42.4 V, even if a
user-installed voltage divider reduces the voltage to within the input range of the DSA
device. Input voltages greater than ±42.4 V can damage the BNC-2142, any device
connected to it, and the host computer. Overvoltage can also cause an electric shock hazard
for the operator. National Instruments is not liable for damage or injury resulting from such
misuse.
