GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI 6585/6585B
Low-Voltage Differential Adapter Module
Note
Before you begin, complete the software and hardware installation
instructions in your FlexRIO FPGA getting started guide or controller for FlexRIO
getting started guide.
Caution Using the NI 6585/6585B in a manner not described in this document
may impair the protection the NI 6585/6585B provides.
The NI 6585/6585B is a low-voltage differential (LVDS) adapter module designed to work in
conjunction with FlexRIO FPGA modules and controllers for FlexRIO.
This document explains how to install and configure the NI 6585/6585B.
Note NI 6585R refers to the combination of your NI 6585/6585B adapter module
and either a FlexRIO FPGA module or a controller for FlexRIO. NI 6585/6585B
refers to your adapter module only.
