Connecting to the VB-8012
Connecting to the Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
Caution Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings, which are listed in the NI VirtualBench VB-8012 Specifications document, can damage
the device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal connections.
Connecting to the Function Generator (FGEN)
The FGEN BNC connector is the analog waveform output terminal from which standard functions and arbitrary waveforms are generated. The maximum output
levels from this connector depend on the type of load termination.
Caution Exceeding the maximum output ratings, which are listed in the NI VirtualBench VB-8012 Specifications document, can damage the
device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal connections.
Connecting to the External Trigger (TRIG)
Caution Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings or maximum output ratings, which are listed in the NI VirtualBench VB-8012
Specifications document, can damage the device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal
connections.
Connecting to the Digital I/O
Caution Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings or maximum output ratings, which are listed in the NI VirtualBench VB-8012
Specifications document, can damage the device and the computer. National Instruments is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal
connections.
Caution Never connect the +3.3 V power terminal to analog or digital ground or to any other voltage source on VirtualBench or any other device.
Doing so can damage the device and the computer. NI is not liable for damage resulting from such a connection.
