The 7700 and 7702 modules provide two additional channels 
that support current measurements that use the DAQ6510 
current measure functions. Refer to the switch module 
datasheets for the current carry specifi cations. 
The 7705, 7711, and 7712 provide signal switching only and no 
direct measurement using the DAQ6510. Refer to the switch 
module datasheets to determine which unit is appropriate for 
your switching application.
Why did my settings change?
Many of the commands in the DAQ6510 are saved with the 
measure function that was active when you set them. For 
example, assume you have the measure function set to current 
and you set a value for display digits. When you change the 
measure function to voltage, the display digits value changes 
to the value that was last set for the voltage measure function. 
When you return to the current measure function, the display 
digits value returns to the value you set previously.
