Memory
Use the following formula to determine the minimum life span in years
of the nonvolatile storage of your cRIO-901x controller:
Minimum life span in years = [Amount of memory in controller (MB) x
100,000 / 365 days] / [file size (MB) x write rate (per day)]

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not
directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as
MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system
that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages
from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements
include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of
equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources,
and electronics.
Caution: Do not connect to signals or use for measurements within
measurement categories II, III, or IV.
Safety Standards
This product is designed to meet the requirements of the following
standards of safety for electrical equipment for measurement, control,
and laboratory use:
• IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1
• UL 61010-1, CSA 61010-1
Note: For UL and other safety certifications, refer to the product label or
visit ni.com/certification, search by model number or product line, and
click the appropriate link in the Certification column.
