Ground
Digital Lines P0.0 through P0.23
These channels are general purpose
DIO lines that are used to read or write
data.
These eight lines signify the unique ID
of each type of prototyping board by
shorting them to VCC or to GROUND.
This signal is used to indicate whether
the prototyping board is inserted
completely or not. It should be
connected to VCC directly without the
pull-up resistor.

Note: All the PFI lines can be configured as static digital I/O or Counter/Timer.
When PFI lines are configured as Static Digital I/O, the mapping relationship in DAQmx is as
follows:
PFI<0..7> to P1.<0..7>
PFI<8..14> to P2.<0..6>
The diagram below shows the pin order of the connector with side B visible.
