NI USB-6008/6009

This guide describes how to use the National Instruments USB-6008/6009

data acquisition (DAQ) devices and lists specifications.

Introduction

The NI USB-6008/6009 provides connection to eight analog input (AI)

channels, two analog output (AO) channels, 12 digital input/output (DIO)

channels, and a 32-bit counter with a full-speed USB interface.

Note This manual revision updates naming conventions to reflect the conventions used in

NI-DAQmx. Table 1 notes the correlation between the old and updated names.

Safety Guidelines

Caution Operate the hardware only as described in these operating instructions.

The following section contains important safety information that you must

follow when installing and using the NI USB-6008/6009.

Do not operate the NI USB-6008/6009 in a manner not specified in this

document. Misuse of the device can result in a hazard. You can compromise

the safety protection built into the device if the device is damaged in any

way. If the device is damaged, contact National Instruments for repair.

Do not substitute parts or modify the device except as described in this

document. Use the device only with the chassis, modules, accessories, and

cables specified in the installation instructions. You must have all covers

and filler panels installed during operation of the device.

Do not operate the device in an explosive atmosphere or where there may

be flammable gases or fumes. If you must operate the device in such an

environment, it must be in a suitably rated enclosure.

If you need to clean the device, use a dry cloth. Make sure that the device

is completely dry and free from contaminants before returning it to service.

Operate the device only at or below Pollution Degree 2. Pollution is foreign

matter in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state that can reduce dielectric strength

or surface resistivity. The following is a description of pollution degrees:

• Pollution Degree 1 means no pollution or only dry, nonconductive

pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

• Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive pollution occurs in

most cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused

by condensation must be expected.

• Pollution Degree 3 means that conductive pollution occurs, or dry,

nonconductive pollution occurs that becomes conductive due to

condensation.

You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which

the device is rated. Do not exceed the maximum ratings for the device. Do

not install wiring while the device is live with electrical signals. Do not

remove or add connector blocks when power is connected to the system.

Avoid contact between your body and the connector block signal when hot

swapping modules. Remove power from signal lines before connecting

them to or disconnecting them from the device.

Operate the device at or below the Measurement Category I1. Measurement

circuits are subjected to working voltages2and transient stresses

(overvoltage) from the circuit to which they are connected during

measurement or test. Measurement categories establish standard impulse

withstand voltage levels that commonly occur in electrical distribution

systems. The following is a description of measurement categories:

• Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits

not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to

as MAINS3voltage. This category is for measurements of voltages

from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage

measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy

parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources,

and electronics.

• Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits

directly connected to the electrical distribution system. This category

refers to local-level electrical distribution, such as that provided by a

standard wall outlet (for example, 115 V for U.S. or 230 V for Europe).

Examples of Measurement Category II are measurements performed

on household appliances, portable tools, and similar E Series devices.

• Measurement Category III is for measurements performed in the

building installation at the distribution level. This category refers to

measurements on hard-wired equipment such as equipment in fixed

installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers. Other examples

are wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,

socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and stationary motors with

permanent connections to fixed installations.

• Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed at the

primary electrical supply installation (<1,000 V). Examples include

electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent

protection devices and on ripple control units.

1 Measurement Category as defined in electrical safety standard IEC 61010-1. Measurement Category is also referred to as

Installation Category.

2 Working Voltage is the highest rms value of an AC or DC voltage that can occur across any particular insulation.

3 MAINS is defined as a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. Suitably rated measuring circuits may

be connected to the MAINS for measuring purposes.

Setting Up Hardware

Complete the following steps to set up the hardware:

1. Install combicon screw terminal blocks by inserting them into the

combicon jacks.

2. Figure 4 illustrates the signal labels that ship in the NI USB-6008/6009

kit. You can apply the signal labels to the screw terminal blocks for

easy signal identification.

Figure 4. NI USB-6008/6009 Signal Labels

3. Refer to Table 3 and Figures 4 and 5 for signal label orientation and

affix the provided signal labels to the screw terminal blocks. Until the

signal labels are applied, you can insert the screw terminal blocks into

either of the combicon jacks.
