Cabling
IEEE 1394 Camera Cables
You can connect cameras to the NI 8254R using standard IEEE 1394
cables. IEEE 1394 cables provide both a data path and power to your
camera.
I/O Terminal Block
National Instruments provides an I/O terminal block with the NI 8254R,
which can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The I/O terminal
block breaks the signals out into easy-to-use screw terminals and comes
with a cable that connects directly to the 44-pin D-SUB connector on the
NI 8254R.
