Notice
Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings of any connector on
the PCIe-5774 can damage the device and the system. NI is not liable for any
damage resulting from such connections.
Configuring the PCIe-5774 in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which NI hardware products are in the system and how they are
configured. MAX is automatically installed with FlexRIO.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
In the configuration tree, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see the list of installed NI
hardware.
Note
If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of
installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure
the module is correctly installed, and restart.
3.
Record the identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the PCIe-5774.
4.
Self-test the hardware by selecting the item in the configuration tree and clicking
Self-
Test
in the MAX toolbar.
The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.
FlexRIO Examples
FlexRIO includes several example applications for LabVIEW. These examples serve as
interactive tools, programming models, and as building blocks in your own applications.
Accessing FlexRIO Examples
FlexRIO examples are available in LabVIEW's NI Example Finder. Complete the following
steps to access the examples by task.
1.
In LabVIEW, click
Help
»
Find Examples
.
2.
In the
NI Example Finder
window that appears, click
Hardware Input and Output
»
FlexRIO
.
The examples are sorted by task. Click on an example and refer to the
Information
window for a description of the example. Refer the
Requirements
window for a list of
hardware devices that can run the example.
You can also click the Search tab to search all installed examples by keyword. For
example, search for
FlexRIO
to locate all FlexRIO examples.
Examples also are available online that demonstrate FlexRIO basics, such as using DRAM,
acquiring data from adapter modules, and performing high throughput streaming. Refer to
ni.com/examples
for these examples and for more information.
