Cable and Probes
The DAQCard-4050 kit contains the DAQCard-4050 accessory cable,
which connects the DAQCard-4050 to a pair of test probes with
shrouded banana plugs. These probes are also included in the kit. Both
the DAQCard-4050 accessory cable and the test probes meet
international safety requirements including UL 3111 and IEC 1010-1
for the full ranges of applications supported by the DAQCard-4050.
Before using any probes or accessories not supplied by National
Instruments, ensure that they meet applicable safety requirements for
the signal levels you may encounter.
To use the DAQCard-4050 accessory cable and probes with the
DAQCard-4050, first connect the cable to the card as shown in
Figure 2-1. The accessory cable connector is polarized so that it cannot
be plugged in incorrectly.
