GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI PXIe-7865
R Series Reconfigurable I/O Module (AI, AO, TTL-compatible DIO) for
PXI Express, 2 AI, 24 AO, 32 TTL-compatible DIO, 1 MS/s AIO,
512 MB DRAM, Kintex-7 160T FPGA
This document describes how to begin using the NI PXIe-7865.
Unpacking the Kit
Notice To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the device, 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 device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any
other sign of damage.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Note Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
Store the device in the antistatic package when the device is not in use.
Verifying the Kit Contents
Verify that the following items are included in the NI PXIe-7865 kit.

Installing Software on the Host Computer
Before using the NI PXIe-7865, you must install the following application software and device
drivers on the host computer.
1. LabVIEW 2019 SP1 or later
2. LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2019 or later1
3. LabVIEW FPGA Module 2019 or later
4. NI R Series Multifunction RIO Device Drivers January 2020 or later
Visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code softwareversion for minimum software support
information.
1LabVIEW Real Time Module is only required when the R Series board is used in a chassis where
the PXIe Controller is running a real-time operating system.

Installing the NI PXIe-7865
Notice To prevent damage to the NI PXIe-7865 caused by ESD or contamination,
handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.
4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that
indicate the slot types.

3. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot
4. PXI Express System Timing Slot
5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot
NI PXIe-7865 modules can be placed in PXI Express peripheral slots, PXI Express
hybrid peripheral slots, or PXI Express system timing slots.
6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.
7. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the chassis. Slide
the module into the slot until it is fully inserted.

8. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the front-panel mounting screws.
Note Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases mechanical
stability and also electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can
improve the signal quality and electromagnetic performance.
9. Cover all empty slots using EMC filler panels or fill using slot blockers to maximize
cooling air flow, depending on your application.
10. Power on the chassis.
Verifying Hardware Installation for Host Targets
You can verify that the system recognizes the NI PXIe-7865 by using Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX).
1. Launch MAX by navigating to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»MAX or by
clicking the MAX desktop icon.
2. Expand Devices and Interfaces.
3. Verify that the device appears under Devices and Interfaces.
If the device does not appear, press <F5> to refresh the view in MAX. If the device does
not appear after refreshing the view, visit ni.com/support for troubleshooting information.
Verifying Hardware Installation for Remote
Systems
You can verify that the system recognizes the NI PXIe-7865 by using Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX).
1. Launch MAX on the host computer.
2. Expand Remote Systems in the configuration tree and locate your system.
4| ni.com | NI PXIe-7865 Getting Started Guide

3. Install LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2019 and NI R Series Multifunction RIO Device
Drivers January 2020 or later on your Remote System.
a) Refer to the Installing Software on the Host Computer section for information about
installing software on the host.
b) Refer to the PXI Express Controllers User Manual at ni.com/manuals for
information on installing software on the target.
4. Under Remote Systems, find and expand Devices and Interfaces.
If the device does not appear, press <F5> to refresh the view in MAX. If the device does
not appear after refreshing the view, visit ni.com/support for troubleshooting information.
