Chapter 1 Getting Started with the cDAQ Chassis
Note The NI-DAQmx software is included on the disk shipped with your kit and is
available for download at
ni.com/support. The documentation for NI-DAQmx is
available after installation from Start»All Programs»National Instruments»
NI-DAQ. Other NI documentation is available from ni.com/manuals.
Table 1-1 lists the earliest NI-DAQmx support version for each cDAQ Ethernet and
wireless chassis.
3. (Optional) Mount the cDAQ chassis to a panel, wall, or DIN rail, or attach the desktop
mounting kit, as described in the Mounting the cDAQ Chassis section.
4. Attach a ring lug to a 1.31 mm
2
(16 AWG) or larger wire. Connect the ring lug to the chassis
ground terminal on the side of the cDAQ chassis using the chassis grounding screw as
shown in Figure 1-4. Attach the other end of the wire to the grounding electrode system of
your facility. Refer to the Chassis Grounding Screw section for more information about
making this connection.
Note If you use shielded cabling to connect to a C Series I/O module with a plastic
connector, you must attach the cable shield to the chassis grounding terminal using
1.31 mm
2
(16 AWG) or larger wire. Use shorter wire for better EMC performance.
