PXIe-5622 Specifications

These specifications apply to the PXIe-5622 with 64 MB and 256 MB of memory.

Hot Surface If the PXIe-5622 has been in use, it may exceed safe handling temperatures and cause burns. Allow the PXIe-5622 to cool before removing it from the chassis.
Caution Do not operate the PXIe-5622 in a manner not specified in this document. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety protection built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product is damaged, return it to NI for repair.
