Note You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure
connection when connecting more than one wire to a
single terminal on the NI 9481E.
When the channel is turned on, the terminal connected to the load
drives current or applies voltage to the load. When the channel is
off, the terminal does not drive current or apply voltage to the load.
Sleep Mode
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit
ni.com/info and enter cseriesdoc for information about
C Series documentation.
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does
in normal mode. Refer to the
Specifications section for more
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
