PXIe-6569 Getting Started Guide

Getting Started Guide
Note Before you begin, install and configure your chassis and controller.
This document explains how to install, configure, test, and use the PXIe-6569. You
can program the PXIe-6569 with the following soware options.
■NI-FlexRIO driver soware
■NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for FlexRIO (instrument design
libraries)
Note Adapter modules are not installable or interchangeable on the
PXIe-6569 device.
The PXIe-6569 is available in the following fixed LVDS configurations:
■ PXIe-6569 with 32 LVDS In, 32 LVDS Out
■ PXIe-6569 with 64 LVDS In
■ PXIe-6569 with 64 LVDS Out
Note In this document, all variants are referred to inclusively as the
PXIe-6569.
FlexRIO Documentation and Resources

Unpacking the Kit
Notice To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the
module, ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object, such as your computer chassis.
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.
2. Remove the module from the package and inspect it for loose components or
other signs of damage.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Note Do not install a module if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
Store the module in the antistatic package when the module is not in use.

Recommended Cables
NI oers two lengths of optional SEARAY™ to SEARAY cables for connecting to the
pins on the front panel. The following table shows the details for each.
Model Name Part Number
SR240M-SR240M Cable, LVDS with SE, 0.5m 787317-0R5
SR240M-SR240M Cable, LVDS with SE, 1.0m 787317-01
Installing the Software
You must be an Administrator to install NI soware on your computer.
1. Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows™/CVI™.
2. Download the driver soware installer from ni.com/downloads.
NI Package Manager downloads with the driver soware to handle the
installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information
about installing, removing, and upgrading NI soware using NI Package
Manager.
3. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts.
Note Windows users may see access and security messages during
installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.
4. When the installer completes, select Restart in the dialog box that prompts
you to restart, shut down, or restart later.
Installing FlexRIO Modules
This section contains general installation instructions for installing a FlexRIO
module in a PXI Express chassis. Refer to your chassis user manual for specific
instructions and warnings. To install a module, complete the following steps:

PXIe-6569 Getting Started Guide

1. Connect the AC power source to the PXI Express chassis before installing the
module. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical
damage while you install the module.
2. Ensure that the chassis is powered o.
3. Install a module into a chassis slot by first placing the module card PCB into
the front of the card guides (top and bottom), as shown in the following figure.
Slide the module to the rear of the chassis, making sure that the injector/
ejector handle is pushed down, as shown in the following figure.
4. When you begin to feel resistance, push up on the injector/ejector handle to
fully seat the module into the chassis frame. Secure the module front panel to
the chassis using the module front-panel mounting screws.

Signal Descriptions
The following table describes the signal connections for the PXIe-6569.
Connector Name Signal Type Description
DO <0...63>+/- Data Positive and negative
dierential terminals for digital
output channels 0 through 63.
DI <0...63>+/- Data Positive and negative
dierential terminals for digital
input channels 0 through 63.
© National Instruments 17
PXIe-6569 Getting Started Guide

Connector Name Signal Type Description
PFI <0,1>+/- Control Positive and negative
dierential terminals for
bidirectional PFI channels 0
and 1.
SE <0...7> Data Terminals for bidirectional
single-ended channels 0
through 7.
SE_GND_TERM Termination Terminals that provide
coupling to the single-ended
channels. These signals should
be terminated for the best
single-ended signal integrity.
These are terminated on the
PXIe-6569 with 56 Ω to ground.
NI recommends that these also
be terminated on the user side
of the SEARAY cable through a
56 Ω (±10%) resistor to GND. If
the user-side termination is not
possible, leave it disconnected.
CLKIN+/-,
CLKOUT+/-
Clock Terminals for clocking inputs
and outputs.
GND Ground Ground reference for signals.
RSVD Reserved These pins are reserved and
use of them is not supported
by NI. Leave these terminals
disconnected.
Verifying the Installation in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which NI hardware products are in the system and
how they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with FlexRIO.
1. Launch MAX.

PXIe-6569 Getting Started Guide

2. In the configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of
installed NI hardware.
Installed modules appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3. Expand your Chassis tree item.
MAX lists all modules installed in the chassis. Your default names may vary.
Note Device Manager identifies the PXIe-6569 as the "NI FlexRIO
Module (BT - KU035)" or "NI FlexRIO Module (BT - KU060)".
Note If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the
list of installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power o the
system, ensure the module is correctly installed, and restart.
4. Record the identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the PXIe-6569.
5. Self-test the hardware by selecting the item in the configuration tree and
clicking Self-Test in the MAX toolbar.
MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.
Accessing FlexRIO with Integrated I/O Examples
The FlexRIO driver includes several example applications for LabVIEW. These
examples serve as interactive tools, programming models, and as building blocks
in your own applications. To access all FlexRIO with Integrated I/O getting started
examples, complete the following steps.
1. In LabVIEW, click Help » Find Examples.
2. In the NI Example Finder window that opens, click Hardware Input and
Output » FlexRIO » Integrated IO » Getting Started.
3. Double click Getting Started with FlexRIO Integrated IO.vi.
The FlexRIO with Integrated IO Project Creator window opens.
4. Select the example that corresponds to the name of your FlexRIO module.
The Description window includes a short description of the getting started
