Safety Guidelines

Caution

 

You can impair the protection provided by the NI-7935R if you use it in a

manner not described in this document.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines

This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These requirements
and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is
operated in the intended operational electromagnetic environment.

This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful interference may
occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a peripheral device or test object,
or if the product is used in residential or commercial areas. To minimize interference with
radio and television reception and prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and
use this product in strict accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.

Furthermore, any changes or modifications to the product not expressly approved by National
Instruments could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

Caution

 

To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with

shielded cables and accessories. The DC power input cables and optical SFP+ cables
may be unshielded.

Caution

 

To ensure the specified EMC performance, you must use an isolated cable

with the SFP+ ports.

Caution

 

To ensure the specified EMC performance, the length of any cable

connected to the TRIG ports and REF CLK ports must be no longer than 3 m (10 ft).
The length of copper cables connected to the SFP+ ports must be no longer than 3 m
(10 ft). The length of cables connected to the USB device ports or host ports must be
no longer than 30 m (100 ft). The lengths of Ethernet cables and optical SFP+ cables
are not limited.

Caution

 

The USB device port is intended only for use in device configuration,

application deployment, debug, and maintenance.

Verifying the System Requirements

To use the NI-7935R, your system must meet certain requirements. For more information
about minimum system requirements, recommended system, and supported application
development environments (ADEs), refer to the readme, which is available on the software
media or online at
