Table3-3 lists pin numbers, signal names, and signal descriptions for the

44-pin D-SUB connector on the NI 8254R and the 37-pin terminal block.

Caution Do not draw more than 500 mA combined from the V pins on the 44-pin D-SUB

connector. Do not draw more than 100 mA from 24 V or 30 V isolated outputs. Do not draw

more than 50 mA from 5 V isolated outputs.
