Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment you are using the NI 5624R in meets the following specifications.

............................................................................

Operating ambient temperature
(IEC-60068-2-1, IEC-60068-2-2)

0 °C to 55 °C

............................................................................

Operating relative humidity
(IEC-60068-2-56)

10% to 90%, noncondensing

............................................................................

Maximum altitude

2,000 m (800 mbar) (at 25 °C ambient
temperature)

............................................................................

Pollution Degree

2

Indoor use only.

Caution

 

Clean the hardware with a soft, nonmetallic brush. Make sure that the

hardware is completely dry and free from contaminants before returning it to
service.

Note

 

Refer to the 

NI PXIe-5624R Specifications

 at 

ni.com/manuals

 for complete

specifications.

Programming the NI 5624R

You can use the NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for IF Digitizers and the LabVIEW
FPGA Module to customize the behavior of your NI 5624R.

You can use the instrument design libraries to control or customize your NI 5624R device to
suit the needs of your application. This software offers many LabVIEW libraries to assist you
in controlling your device.

Use the NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for IF Digitizers with the LabVIEW FPGA
Module to customize the behavior of the device FPGA to create application-specific
instrument designs. The NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for IF Digitizers
installation includes sample projects. You can use sample projects as a starting point for
customizing the device FPGA or to operate the device as a standard IF digitizer.

Installing the Software

Close all programs before installing the software. NI recommends installing your software
before installing the NI 5624R hardware.

Install your software in the following order:
1.

Install the latest service packs for your operating system.

2.

Install NI LabVIEW.
