Connecting Analog Output Signals
The AO signals are AO <0.. n > and AOGND.
AO <0.. n > are the AO channels. AOGND is the gro
u
nd reference signal for
the AO channels.
Fig
u
re 2-10 shows how to make AO connections to the
NI 783 x R/784 x R/785 x R.

re the NI 78 xx R to load a VI
when the system powers on. The VI can then set the DIO lines to any
power-on state.
Connecting Digital I/O Signals
The DIO signals on the NI 78 xx R RDIO connectors are DGND and
DIO<0..39>. The DIO signals on the NI 783 x R/784 x R/785 x R RMIO
connector are DGND and DIO<0..15>. The DIO<0.. n > signals make
