USB-6363 is it supplied with a power supply or is it powered from USB?

Can someone tell me if this device needs a separate power supply, and if so, is it provided when I order a USB-6363. Thanks

When in doubt, read the datasheet.  In this case, page 17 clearly states that the USB-6363 needs an external power supply.  If you go read the datasheet, you will get more details.

Hi you state Page17 of the datasheet. When I look at the product page there appears to be DS-151; DS-153 and DS-163. None of them have anything to do with the power supply on page 17. Am I looking at the wrong DS?

Also I have read somewhere that we should be using a NI Power supply. I cant find any references to the part number, is it supplied as part of the USB-6363? Thanks

Sure sounds like it.  I put a link in my previous post for you to follow.

Considering it won't work without it, I sure hope so.  After digging a little more, it looks like the power adapter is included, but not the power cable (to go between the wall and the adapter).  It is a standard power cable, so you might have a bunch just sitting around you could use.
