The NI 6581/6581B ships with socketed CLIP items that add module I/O to the LabVIEW
project.
NI 6581 CLIP
This CLIP provides read/write access to all digital I/O (DIO) channels using a single channel-
based interface. Each grouping of eight I/O channels has a write enable signal. In the
LabVIEW FPGA Module, each DIO channel is accessed using a Boolean signal.
Refer to Knowledge Base
6NND5NOA
for a list of pin assignments to use when modifying the
socketed CLIP used by an NI 6581/6581B.
Installing the Application Software and Driver
Before installing your hardware, you must install the application software and instrument
driver. Visit
rdsoftwareversion
as the Info Code to determine
which minimum software versions you need for your device. Install the software in the
following order:
1. Install LabVIEW.
Refer to the
LabVIEW Installation Guide
for installation instructions for LabVIEW and
system requirements for the LabVIEW software. Refer to the
LabVIEW Upgrade Notes
for additional information about upgrading to the most recent version of LabVIEW for
Windows. Documentation for LabVIEW is available at
