NI USB-6509 Self-Test

[lxjzhang]

Hello all,

Does anyone know what the built-in self-test of the NI USB-6509 hardware or any similar digitial I/O hardware does? Does it just confirm the hardware can communicate, or it actually tries to write and read certain digitial I/O lines?

I just want to have some idea about what it means when the self-test passes or fails.

Thanks,

Wenhao

The self-test is just a diagnostic that checks that the onboard chips are powered properly.  The Test Panels actually check I/O.

Hello,

Is the NI USB-6509 supported by DAQExpress?

We want to be able to configure and test all Digital I/Os using an NI application.

Thanks,

"NI" is a company, not an instrument, diagnostic tool, or software. Please clarify your question.

You can use NI MAX (measurement and automation explorer) which is a National Instruments software to test digital I/Os using test panels.
