Signal Label Application Diagram

4.

Affix the provided signal labels to the screw terminal connector plugs. You can choose labels with 
pin numbers, signal names, or blank labels, as shown in Figure 3. Choose one of the labels, align 
the correct label with the terminals printed on the top panel of your device and apply the label, as 
shown in Figure 2.

Note

After you label the screw terminal connector plugs, you must only insert them into the 

matching connector jack, as indicated by the overlay label on the device.

5.

Plug one end of the USB cable into the NI USB-6008/6009 and the other end into an available 
USB port on the computer.
