Connecting Digital I/O SignalsThe DIO signals are DIO<0..7> and DGND. DIO<0..7> are the signals
making up the DIO port, and DGND is the ground-reference signal for the
DIO port. You can program groups of indi vidual lines to be inputs or
outputs.
Caution Exceeding the maximum input voltage ratings, which are listed in Table4-3, can
damage the NI6115/6120 and the computer. NI is not liable for any damage resulting from
such signal connections.
Figure4-7 shows signal connections for three typical DIO applications.
