Note Your DAQPad device cannot sink sufficient current to drive the SSR-OAC-5 and
SSR-OAC-5A output modules. However, it can drive the SSR-ODC-5 output
module and all SSR input modules available from National Instruments.
If you need to drive an SSR-OAC-5 or SSR-OAC-5A, you can either use
a non-inverting digital buffer chip between your DAQPad device and the SSR
backplane, or you can use an MIO series device with appropriate connections
(for example, an SC-205X and cables).
With a DAQPad-6507or DAQPad-6508, your computer can serve as a
digital I/O system controller for laboratory testing, production testing, and
industrial process monitoring and control.
Detailed specifications of the DAQPad-6507 and DAQPad-6508 devices
