USER GUIDE AND SPECIFICATIONS

NI CF-6004

This user guide describes how to use the National Instruments CF-6004 data acquisition (DAQ) 
device and lists specifications. The NI CF-6004 provides connection to four analog input (AI) 
channels and four digital input/output (DIO) channels, with a type II CompactFlash interface.
