Connecting Analog Output, APFI, and PFI Signals

Use the BNC-2090A BNC connectors on the front panel to connect 
AO <0..1>, APFI 0, and PFI 0 signals to your DAQ device. Refer to your 
DAQ device documentation for information on the use of these signals.

Figure 5 shows how AO 0, AO 1, APFI 0, and PFI 0 signals are routed to 
the DAQ device.

Connecting Digital Signals

Use the BNC-2090A spring terminal block on the front panel to connect 
digital signals to your DAQ device. Refer to your DAQ device 
documentation for information on the use of these signals.

When connecting signals to the spring terminal blocks, you can use up to 
20 AWG wire with the insulation stripped to 0.5 in.
