1
The bus power specification assumes that power is provided to the NI 8255R device from the host computer power supply via
the ATX power connector. If power is not supplied through the ATX power connector, camera power is supplied by the PCIe
bus and should be limited to 3 W, shared by both ports.
2
Do
not
draw more than 100 mA from 30 V isolated outputs. Do
not
draw more than 50 mA from 5 V isolated outputs.
3
To connect an IEEE 1394a camera to the NI 8255R, you will need a 6-pin to 9-pin cable or a 6-pin to 9-pin adapter.
