The I/O connector for the PCI-1200 has 50 pins that you can connect to
50-pin accessories.

Figure 3-1 shows the pin assignments for the PCI-1200 I/O connector.
Caution
Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings of input or output signals
on the PCI-1200 may damage the PCI-1200 and the computer. This includes
connecting any power signals to ground and vice versa. You should not externally
drive digital I/O lines while the computer is powered off; doing so can damage the
computer. National Instruments is
NOT
liable for any damages resulting from
signal connections that exceed these maximum ratings.
