Safety Guidelines

Caution

Do 

not

 operate the NI cDAQ-9132/9133/9134/9135/9136/9137 controller 

in a manner not specified in these operating instructions. Product misuse can result 
in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection built into the product if the 
product is damaged in any way. If the product is damaged, return it to National 
Instruments for repair.

Note

Because some C Series modules may have more stringent certification 

standards than the NI cDAQ-9132/9133/9134/9135/9136/9137 controller, the 
combined system may be limited by individual component restrictions. Refer to the 
specifications document for your cDAQ controller for more details.
