Configuration
The NI PCI/PXI/PCIe-6509 devices are fully compliant with the
PCI Local Bus Specification
Revision 2.2
, the
PXI Hardware Specification Revision 2.1
, and the
PCI Express
Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.1
, respectively. The PCI/PXI/PCIe system
automatically allocates all device resources, including the base address and interrupt level. The
device base address is mapped into PCI memory space. It is not necessary to perform
configuration steps after the system powers up.
Before installing the NI 6509 device, you must install the software you plan to use with the
device. Refer to the software documentation for configuration instructions.
After you install the software and the NI 6509 device, the device appears under the
Devices and
Interfaces
branch of the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration tree.
If the NI 6509 does not appear in MAX, use the following troubleshooting guidelines:
•
Verify that you are using the correct version of the NI-DAQmx driver software (version 7.1
or later for the NI PCI/PXI-6509 and version 9.2 or later for the PCIe-6509). To download
the most recent National Instruments drivers, visit

downloads
.
•
Press <F5> to refresh the MAX window, or close and reopen MAX.
•
Restart the computer.
•
Power off and unplug the computer or chassis, and install the device in a different slot.
Refer to the
DAQ Getting Started
guides for installation instructions and safety guidelines.
•
(PCI-6509 only)
You must install the PCI-6509 into a slot that provides 3.3 V. Check that
the 3.3 V LED (reference designator
DS1
—located on the visible edge of the underside of
the installed device) is lit. If not, check that the PC motherboard provides 3.3 V to the PCI
bus.
