Safety Information
Caution
follow when installing and operating the device.
Do not operate the device in a manner not specified in the documentation. Misuse of the
device may result in a hazard and may compromise the safety protection built into the device.
If the device is damaged, turn it off and do not use it until service-trained personnel can check
its safety. If necessary, return the device to National Instruments for repair.
Keep away from live circuits. Do not remove equipment covers or shields unless you are
trained to do so. If signal wires are connected to the device, hazardous voltages can exist even
when the equipment is turned off. To avoid a shock hazard, do not perform procedures
involving cover or shield removal unless you are qualified to do so. Disconnect all field power
prior to removing covers or shields.
