NI USB-9229/9239 User Guide and Specifications

LED Indicator

The NI USB-9229/9239 device has a green LED next to the USB 
connector. The LED indicator indicates device status, as listed in Table 1. 
When the device is connected to a USB port, the LED blinks steadily to 
indicate that the device is initialized and is receiving power from the 
connection.

If the LED is not blinking, it may mean that the device is not initialized or 
the computer is in standby mode. In order for the device to be recognized, 
the device must be connected to a computer that has NI-DAQmx installed 
on it. If your device is not blinking, make sure your computer has the latest 
version of NI-DAQmx installed on it, and the computer is not in standby 
mode.

Note

Table 2 illustrates the accessories available from 

ni.com

 for use with the 

NI USB-9229/9239.

The NI USB-9229/9239 has four 2-terminal detachable screw-terminal 
connectors that provide connections for four simultaneously sampled, 
isolated analog input channels. Connect the positive signal of the signal 
source to the AI+ terminal, and connect the negative signal of the signal
