LED
The NI USB-6008/6009 device has a green LED next to the USB
connector. 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.
Analog Input
You can connect analog input signals to the NI USB-6008/6009 through
