For complete specifications, refer to specifications document for your device at ni.com/

manuals.

Installing the Software

You must be an Administrator to install NI software on your computer.

1. Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows™/CVI™.

2. Insert the driver software media into your computer. The installer should open

automatically.

4| ni.com | PXI/PCI-5154 Getting Started Guide

If the installation window does not appear, navigate to the drive, double-click it, and

double-click autorun.exe.

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 the PXI-5154

Caution To prevent damage to the PXI-5154 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.

5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot

PXI-5154 modules can be placed in PXI peripheral slots or PXI Express Hybrid

peripheral slots.

6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.

7. Ensure that the ejector handle is in the downward (unlatched) position.

8. 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.

9. Latch the module in place by pulling up on the ejector handle.

10. 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.

11. Cover all empty slots using EMC filler panels or fill using slot blockers to maximize

cooling air flow, depending on your application.

12. Power on the chassis.

Note For more information about maximizing cooling air flow, refer to the

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users included in your kit.

Installing the PCI-5154

1. Power off and unplug the computer.

2. Access the computer system expansion slots. This step might require you to remove one

or more access panels on the computer case.

3. Locate a compatible slot and remove the corresponding slot cover on the computer back

panel. PCI-5154 modules can only be inserted into PCI slots.

Tip To maximize airflow and extend the life of the PCI device, leave any

adjacent PCI slots empty.

6| ni.com | PXI/PCI-5154 Getting Started Guide

4. Touch any metal part of the computer to discharge any static electricity.

5. Insert the module into the slot you selected. Gently rock the module in to place without

forcing it.

6. Secure the module mounting bracket to the computer back panel rail.

Note Tightening the top mounting screw increases mechanical stability and

also electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can improve the

signal quality and electromagnetic performance.

7. Some computer manufacturers use a securing lever made of plastic to secure PCI devices;

such a lever is unacceptable and must be removed. Use the screw provided in the kit to

screw down the device. Otherwise, you must use a different computer chassis.

8. Replace any access panels on the computer case.

9. Power on your computer.

10. Verify that spread-spectrum clocking is enabled in the PC BIOS. For information about

how to verify this setting, refer to the PC user documentation

Note For SMC-based devices, spread-spectrum clocking varies the clock

signal to spread the timing clock signal over a small frequency range. Disabling

spread-spectrum clocking may affect the accuracy of device specifications.

Configuring the PXI/PCI-5154 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 NI-SCOPE.

1. Launch MAX.

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 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 off 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 PXI/PCI-5154.

5. Self-test the hardware by selecting the item in the configuration tree and clicking Self-

Test in the MAX toolbar.

The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.

6. Run the test panels on the device to verify the signal.

a) To access the test panels, right-click the device and select Test Panels. The

NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel (SFP) launches automatically.

PXI/PCI-5154 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 9

b) Do one of the following to connect a signal to the device:

• Connect an external signal by clicking Auto or by selecting the appropriate

device parameters for the signal, or

• Connect a cable from PFI 1 to an input channel and select Utility»Probe

Compensation from the SFP menu. Click Auto to display a 1 kHz square

wave.

Note The PXI/PCI-5154 has self-calibration capabilities, which you can

access programmatically with NI-SCOPE and your ADE, or interactively with

NI-SCOPE SFP or MAX.
