Problem:
I need official confirmation that sensitive data passing through National Instruments S Series DAQ boards will be erased when the device loses power.

Solution:
Here is a list of the current information on some of our S Series boards. The list below contains the types of memory in each device, the amount, and whether or not the information stored in that memory is retained. Volatile memory loses its contents when the device is powered off while nonvolatile memory retains its contents when the device is powered off.
