FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Does the PCI-6236 provide current or voltage outputs?

Its four analog outputs generate voltage over a ±10 V range. The ±20 mA rating applies to its analog inputs.

Can any 37-pin D-SUB cable be used?

Do not select cabling by connector shape alone. NI places the PCI-6236 in its isolated-device group requiring higher-rated cables to meet specifications.
