Other Equipment

There are several required items not included in your device kit that you need to install or

operate the NI 5667.

Required Items

A PXI Express chassis and chassis documentation. The NI PXIe-1075 chassis is one
available option for your device. For more information about compatible chassis options,
refer to 

ni.com

.

A PXI Express embedded controller or MXI controller system that meets the system
requirements specified in this guide and chassis documentation.

Optional Items

A 1 N · m standard SMA torque wrench (NI part number 780487-01).

Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment you are using the NI 5667 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-5667 (3.6 GHz) Specifications

 at 

ni.com/manuals

 for

complete specifications.

Installing the Software

You must be an Administrator to install NI software on your computer.
1. Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows
