Caution Do not hot-swap mini DisplayPort devices while the cDAQ controller is
in a hazardous location or connected to high voltages.
USB Host Ports
The cDAQ controller supports common USB mass-storage devices such as USB Flash drives
and USB-to-IDE adapters formatted with FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. LabVIEW usually
maps USB devices to the U:, V:, W:, or X: drive, starting with the U: drive if it is available.
You can also use these ports to connect a computer keyboard and mouse for controller
programming.
Install a noise-suppression ferrite (National Instruments part number 711849-01, included in the
shipping kit) around all attached external USB cables to ensure that your device meets all EMC
standards applicable to your country, as shown in Figure 1-25. The ferrite should be installed so
that it is approximately 50 to 75 mm (2 to 3 in.) from the end of the cable that plugs into the USB
host port. The ferrite should accommodate both USB cables depending on cable diameter.
