device is still not recognized, refer to
information.
8. Self-test your device in MAX by right-clicking NI USB-6008 or NI USB-6009 and
selecting Self-Test. Self-test performs a brief test to determine successful device
installation. When the self-test finishes, a message indicates successful verification or if
an error occurred. If an error occurs, refer to

with shielded cables and accessories.
9. Connect the wires (16 AWG to 28 AWG) of a shielded, multiconductor cable to screw
terminals by stripping 6.35 mm (0.25 in) of insulation, inserting the wires into the screw
terminals, and securely tightening the screws with the flathead screwdriver to a torque of
0.22 N · m to 0.25 N · m (2.0 lb · in. to 2.2 lb · in.). Refer to the
Descriptions section for an image of the NI USB-6008/6009 pinout.
If using a shielded cable, connect the cable shield to a nearby GND terminal.
