Thanks for the reply. As far as I know ethernet is the only available connection. Can we do USB? IT wants to put some security software on it first and they are squabbling over it. Is there a way to do all that programming offline if I know the CDAQ type and cards?

Thanks

The manual seems to suggest USB is a viable option (page 1-11, 21 in the PDF):

12. Use a USB A-to-B cable (included in the shipping kit) to connect the USB device port of the cDAQ controller to a USB port on the host computer.

Caution National Instruments requires a locking USB cable, such as part number
157788-01, in order to meet the shock and vibration specifications of this product.
Note Alternatively, you can connect the cDAQ controller to the host computer
using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1. Refer to the Connecting to the Network through the
Ethernet Port section for more information.

Note that the USB A ports are for the cDAQ as host (i.e. to plug in pen drives, whatever). You need to use the USB B port for the cDAQ to function as a device (and then connect to a host PC).
