GETTING STARTED GUIDE

NI 6589

1 Gbps, 20 Channel, LVDS Digital I/O Adapter Module

Note

 

Before you begin, complete the software and hardware installation

instructions in the getting started guide for your FlexRIO FPGA module or
Controller for FlexRIO.

The NI 6589 is a FlexRIO adapter module designed to work in conjunction with FlexRIO
FPGA modules and Controllers for FlexRIO.

The NI 6589 features 20 LVDS channels (16 data and 4 PFI), and sample rates up to 1 Gbit/s
on LVDS channels

This document explains how to install and configure the NI 6589.
