FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Can the PCMCIA-4050 measure current directly?

No. Current measurements require an external current shunt. NI documents the CSM-200mA and CSM-10A for use with this model.

Does NI-DMM 19.0 support the PCMCIA-4050?

No. NI-DMM 19.0 explicitly removed support for the DAQCard-4050, also identified as PCMCIA-4050.

Which cable connects the card to test probes?

NI specifies the P4-BJ2 cable.
