+5 V Power Source
Caution
Do not connect the +5 V power pin directly to D GND, RG, or any pin configured
for output on the NI 660x device, or any voltage source or output pin on another device.
Doing so can damage the device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for
damages resulting from such a connection.

The +5 V pin on the I/O connector supplies power from the computer
power supply through a self-resetting fuse. The fuse resets automatically
within a few seconds after removal of an overcurrent condition. The power
pin is referenced to the D GND pins and can supply power to external
digital circuitry. The power rating for this +5 V pin on the NI 660x is
+4.65 to +5.25 VDC at 1 A.
