Configuring the NI 6052E

NI PCI/PXI-6052E
The NI PCI/PXI-6052E is completely software configurable. You must
perform two types of configuration on the NI PCI/PXI-6052E—bus-related
and data acquisition-related configuration.
The NI PCI/PXI-6052E is fully compatible with the industry-standard
PCI Local Bus Specification
, Revision 2.2, and
PXI Specification
,
Revision 2.0. This compatibility allows the PCI or PXI system to
automatically perform all bus-related configurations, including setting
the device base memory address and interrupt channel.
You can modify data acquisition-related configuration settings such as
AI polarity, range, and mode through application-level software, such
as NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio.
