LED Indicator The NI USB-9229/9239 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 co

Connecting Signal Sources to the NI USB-9229/9239 You can connect ground-referenced or floating signal sources to the NI USB-9229/9239. If you make a ground-referenced connection between the signal source and the NI USB-9229/9239, make sure the voltage on the AI+ and AI– connections are in the channel-to-earth safety voltage range to ensure proper operation of the NI USB-9229/9239. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about operating voltages and overvoltage protection.

Passband The signals within the passband have frequency-dependent gain or attenuation. The small amount of variation in gain with respect to frequency is called the passband flatness. The digital filters of the NI USB-9229/9239 adjust the frequency range of the passband to match the data rate. Therefore, the amount of gain or attenuation at a given frequency depends on the data rate. Figure 11 shows typical passband flatness for the 50 kS/s data rate. 0.025 0.000 –0.025 –0.050 0 5 10 15
