Description
NI PXI-6052E
1. Power off and unplug the computer.
2. Choose an unused PXI slot in the system. For maximum performance, the NI PXI-6052E has an onboard DMA controller, but you can only use this controller if the device is installed in a slot that supports bus arbitration or bus master cards. NI recommends installing the NI PXI-6052E in such a slot. The PXI specification requires all slots to support bus master cards, but the CompactPCI specification does not. If you install the device in a CompactPCI non-master slot, disable the NI PXI-6052E onboard DMA controller using the ADE.
3. Remove the filler panel for the slot that you chose.
4. Insert the NI PXI-6052E into a 5 V PXI slot. Use the injector/ejector handle to fully insert the device into the chassis.
5. Screw the front panel of the NI PXI-6052E to the front panel mounting rail of the system. 6. Plug in and power on the computer.
The NI PXI-6052E is now installed.
NI PCI/PXI-6052E
The NI PCI/PXI-6052E is completely software configurable. You must perform two types of configuration on the NI PCI/PXI-6052E—bus-related and data acquisition-related configuration. The NI PCI/PXI-6052E is fully compatible with the industry-standard PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, and PXI Specification, Revision 2.0.
This compatibility allows the PCI or PXI system to automatically perform all bus-related configurations, including setting the device base memory address and interrupt channel. You can modify data acquisition-related configuration settings such as AI polarity, range, and mode through application-level software, such as NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio.
