Unpacking

Your RT Series DAQ device is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent

electrostatic damage to the device. Electrostatic discharge can damage

several components on the device. To avoid such damage in handling the

device, take the following precautions:

•

Ground yourself by using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded

object.

•

Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer chassis

before removing the device from the package.

•

Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for

loose components or any other sign of damage. Notify National

Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install

a damaged device into your computer.

•

Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

Use the RT Series DAQ devices with LabVIEW RT and NI-DAQ. Because

NI-DAQ is included with LabVIEW RT, install NI-DAQ during the

LabVIEW RT installation. Refer to the LabVIEW Real-Time Release Notes

for specific information about LabVIEW RT and NI-DAQ version

compatibility. Refer to Chapter 2,

for information about installing your RT Series hardware.
