The power indicator LED, shown in Figure 1, lights. If it does not light, check the cable
connections.
3.
Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), confirm that your DAQ device is
recognized, and configure your device settings. Refer to the
DAQ Getting Started
guides
for more information.
4.
Connect signals to the BNC connectors and screw terminal block as described in the
following sections.
Caution
To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with
shielded cables and accessories. When connecting signals to the screw terminal
blocks, the wires must be shielded (e.g. one conductor of a shielded, multi-conductor
cable). The cable shield must be terminated to the D GND or AI GND terminal of the
terminal block using as short a connection as is practical.
Note
With NI-DAQmx, National Instruments has revised its terminal names so
they are easier to understand and more consistent among NI hardware and software
products. The revised terminal names used in this document are usually similar to the
names they replace. For a complete list of Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) terminal
names and their NI-DAQmx equivalents, refer to the
Terminal Name Equivalents
table in the
NI-DAQmx Help
.
5.
Test specific device functionality, such as the ability to send and receive data with MAX
test panels. Refer to the
DAQ Getting Started
guides for detailed information about running
test panels in MAX.
When you have finished using the BNC-2120, power off any external signals connected to the
BNC-2120 before you power off your computer.
