NI产品使用警告

(1) NI产品不具备适用于人体手术治疗的可靠性水准，也不能作为一旦失效便可能造成人体重大伤害的生命保障系统的主要元件。
(2) 软件运行的稳定性可能会受到各种不利因素的影响，包括但不限于电源不稳定、计算机硬件失效、操作系统不兼容、用来开发应用软件的编译器及开发软件的不稳定、安装错误、软件和硬件兼容性问题、电子监控或控制设备失效或者出现错误、电子系统 (硬件／软件) 暂时失效、不按常规使用或误用、或者用户和开发人员出现的错误 (称之为“系统失效”)。任何应用中，若系统失效可能会导致财产损失或人员有受到伤害的危险(包括身体的伤残或死亡)，都不应该将责任完全归咎于系统失效所造成的电子监视的问题。为了避免损坏、伤害或则死亡，用户或是开发人员必须采取合理、审慎的步骤，以避免系统的失效，包括但不限于备份或者关机机制。由于每一位最终用户所使用的系统不会与NI公司用来进行测试的系统完全相同，还由于用户和开发人员有可能将NI的产品与其它公司的未经NI认证的产品结合使用，因此用户和开发者必须仔细对NI产品在其系统上的可靠性进行测试。
