LED Indicator

The NI USB-9237 device has a green LED next to the USB connector. The

LED indicator indicates device status, as listed in Table 1. When the device

is connected to a USB port, the LED blinks steadily to indicate that the

device is initialized and is receiving power from the connection.

If the LED is not blinking, it may mean that the device is not initialized or

the computer is in standby mode. In order for the device to be recognized,

the device must be connected to a computer that has NI-DAQmx installed

on it. If your device is not blinking, make sure your computer has the latest

version of NI-DAQmx installed on it, and the computer is not in standby

mode.

Wiring the NI USB-9237 Device

The NI USB-9237 has four RJ-50 receptacles that provide connections for

four half or full bridges. Table 2 lists the signal names of the terminals for

each connector, and shows the correlation between the pin numbers of

the RJ-50 10-position/10-conductor (10p10c) modular plug and the

NI USB-9237 receptacle. The NI USB-9237 also has a four-position

connector you can use to connect an external excitation voltage source to

the module. Table 2 lists the connections between an external excitation

voltage source and the NI USB-9237.

Note For a list of accessories available for use with the NI USB-9237, refer to

ni.com/info, and enter info code rd9237.
