The NI-DAQmx software is included on the disk shipped with your kit and is available for
download at ni.com/drivers. The documentation for NI-DAQmx is available after

NI documentation is available from
ni.com/manuals.
6. (Optional) Mount the cDAQ chassis to a panel, wall, or DIN rail, or attach the desktop
mounting kit, as described in the Mounting the cDAQ-9185/9189 section.
7. Attach a ring lug to a 1.31 mm
2
(16 AWG) or larger wire. Connect the ring lug to the chassis
ground terminal on the cDAQ chassis using the chassis grounding screw as shown in
Figure 1-3. Attach the other end of the wire to the grounding electrode system of your
facility. Refer to the Chassis Grounding Screw section for more information about making
this connection.
Note If you use shielded cabling to connect to a C Series module with a plastic
connector, you must attach the cable shield to the chassis grounding terminal using
1.31 mm
2
(16 AWG) or larger wire. Use shorter wire for better EMC performance.
