Caution
Do not connect the NI 8254R isolated power to a source less than 5 VDC or
greater than 30 VDC. Doing so could damage the NI 8254R.
The NI 8254R ships with a 2-position power connector that plugs directly
into the isolated outputs power input connector on the NI 8254R. To wire
power to the 2-position connector, complete the following steps:
1.
Wire the voltage output of the isolated power supply to the isolated
outputs power input, labeled V, on the 2-position connector.
2.
Wire the common-mode signal (ground) output of the power supply
to the isolated outputs common-mode signal input, labeled C, on the
2-position connector.
Configuring the NI 8254R
After you have installed the NI 8254R and powered on your computer,
Windows will recognize the device and assign resources to it. Use
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), the National Instruments
configuration utility, to configure the IEEE 1394 camera connected to the
NI 8254R for acquisition.
Note
You must install NI Vision Acquisition Software 8.0 or later before configuring your
camera in MAX. Refer to the NI Vision Acquisition Release Notes for information about
configuring your camera.
