AO Phase Linearity
Power Off and Power Loss BehaviorWhen the NI 4461 is powered off or loses power, the output channels assume a high-impedance state. The outputs of the NI 4461 drop to 0.0 V in approximately 8 μs. The following illustrates the typical behavior of an NI 4461 generating 10 V when powered off or when the device loses power.
