Wiring the NI USB-9264 Device

The NI USB-9264 has a 36-terminal detachable spring-terminal connector 
that provides connections for 16 analog output channels.

Caution

A high voltage screw terminal backshell must be installed when using hazardous 

voltages (>42.4 V

pk

, 60 VDC).

Figure 7.  

NI USB-9264 Terminal Assignments

Each channel of the NI USB-9264 has a terminal to which you can connect 
the positive lead of a load. Each channel also has a common terminal, 
COM, and there are four additional COM terminals at the bottom of the 
connector. All of the COM terminals are internally connected to the 
isolated ground reference of the module. When connecting a load to the 
NI USB-9264, connect the positive lead of the load to the AO terminal, and 
the ground of the load to a COM terminal. Refer to Figure 8 for an 
illustration of connecting a load to the NI USB-9264.
