Caution
Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings or maximum output ratings, which
are listed in the Specifications section, can damage the device and the computer. National
Instruments is not liable for any damage resulting from such signal connections.
Source/Sink Information
The default configuration of the NI USB-6008/6009 DIO ports is open
collector, allowing 5 V operation, with an onboard 4.7 kΩ pull-up resistor.
An external user-provided pull-up resistor can be added to increase the
source current drive up to a 8.5 mA limit per line as shown in Figure 15.
The NI USB-6009 ports can also be configured as active drive using the
NI-DAQmx API, allowing 3.3 V operation with a source/sink current limit
of ±8.5 mA. Refer to the NI-DAQmx Help for more information about how
to set the DIO configuration.
