National Instruments Network Card NI PXI 7811R User Manual

Getting Started with the  
NI PXI-7811R  
This document explains how to set up the National Instruments PXI-7811R  
device.  
Introduction  
The PXI-7811R is an R Series reconfigurable I/O (RIO) device with  
160 digital I/O (DIO) lines.  
Traditional digital I/O devices have a fixed functionality provided by an  
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), but the PXI-7811R has a  
field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that allows you to define device  
functionality and timing.  
You can use the LabVIEW FPGA Module to graphically design the  
PXI-7811R timing and functionality without having to learn a low-level  
programming language or a hardware description language (HDL)  
traditionally used for FPGA design. With the LabVIEW FPGA Module,  
you create or download a custom virtual instrument (VI) to the FPGA.  
You can reconfigure the PXI-7811R device with a new VI at any time.  
You can use the LabVIEW Real-Time Module to communicate and control  
the PXI-7811R device while performing additional tasks, such as real-time  
floating-point processing and data logging.  
Note If you are using LabVIEW but not the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can create VIs  
that run in LabVIEW to control existing FPGA VIs, but you cannot create new FPGAVIs.  
The PXI-7811R device has Flash memory that you can use to store VIs.  
You can configure VIs to load to the FPGA and to run when the device  
powers up.  
 
LabVIEW FPGA Module 1.1 or later—required to develop  
custom FPGA VIs for the PXI-7811R device  
NI-RIO 1.1 or later—included with the PXI-7811R  
PXI/CompactPCI chassis and real-time PXI controller  
One of the following host computers, depending upon your  
application, running Windows 2000/XP:  
PC  
Laptop computer  
PXI/CompactPCI embedded controller  
At least one cable and device for connecting signals to the PXI-7811R  
CAT 5 Ethernet crossover cable if the real-time PXI system is not  
configured on a network. To connect the PXI system to a network port,  
use a standard CAT 5 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.  
Installing Software  
The following instructions describe how to install the NI-RIO device  
drivers and LabVIEW.  
Installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS, and the  
LabVIEW FPGA Module  
Use the following sequence when installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW  
Real-Time Module for ETS, and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. For more  
detailed information about software requirements, refer to the LabVIEW  
FPGA Release Notes.  
If you are using NI-RIO without LabVIEW, skip these steps and complete  
the steps in the Installing NI-RIO Device Drivers section.  
Note You must install LabVIEW 7.0 or later and the LabVIEW modules you will be using  
with the NI 7811R before installing the NI-RIO device drivers. For LabVIEW installation  
instructions, refer to the LabVIEW Release Notes.  
1. Install LabVIEW for Windows from the LabVIEW CD.  
2. Install the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS from the LabVIEW  
Real-Time CD.  
3. Install LabVIEW FPGA from the LabVIEW FPGA CD.  
4. Install the NI-RIO device drivers. Refer to the Installing NI-RIO  
Device Drivers section for driver installation instructions.

Installing NI-RIO Device Drivers  
Complete the following steps to install the NI-RIO device drivers that are  
included with the PXI-7811R device. If you are using LabVIEW, complete  
the installation instructions in the Installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW  
Real-Time Module for ETS, and the LabVIEW FPGA Module section  
before installing the NI-RIO device drivers.  
1. Run setup.exe from the NI-RIO CD and follow the setup  
instructions.  
2. Follow the onscreen instructions until the Feature Tree window  
appears.  
3. In the Feature Tree window, select the components to install. You must  
install NI-VISA, NI-RIO, and NI Measurement & Automation  
Explorer (MAX).  
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the driver installation.  
5. Reboot your computer.  
Installing Hardware  
This section describes how to unpack and install the PXI-7811R device.  
You can install the PXI-7811R in any available peripheral slot in the PXI  
or CompactPCI chassis.  
Note You must install the NI-RIO device drivers before installing the PXI-7811R device.  
Unpacking  
The PXI-7811R device ships in an antistatic package to prevent  
electrostatic discharge from damaging device components. To prevent such  
damage when handling the device, take the following precautions:  
Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded  
object, such as your computer chassis.  
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis  
before removing the devices from the package.  
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.  
Remove the devices from the package and inspect the devices for loose  
components or any other sign of damage. Notify NI if the devices appear  
damaged in any way. Do not install damaged devices into the computer.  
Store the PXI-7811R in the antistatic envelope when not in use.

Installation  
You can install the PXI-7811R in any available peripheral slot in the PXI  
or CompactPCI chassis. Complete the following steps to install the  
PXI-7811R device.  
Note You must install the software before installing the hardware. For software  
installation instructions, refer to the Installing Software section.  
1. Power off and unplug the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.  
2. Make sure there are no lit LEDs on the chassis. Wait for any lit LEDs  
to go out before continuing the installation.  
3. Remove the filler panel for the peripheral slot.  
4. Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded  
object, such as the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.  
5. Insert the PXI-7811R into the slot. Use the injector/ejector handle to  
fully inject the PXI-7811R into place.  
6. Screw the front panel of the PXI-7811R to the front panel mounting  
rails of the chassis.  
7. Visually verify the installation. Make sure the PXI-7811R is not  
touching other devices or components and that the PXI-7811R is  
fully inserted into the slot.  
8. Plug in and power on the PXI or CompactPCI chassis.  
Connecting Signals  
The PXI-7811R has four DIO connectors with 40 DIO lines per DIO  
connector.  
Figure 1 shows the I/O connector locations for the PXI-7811R. The  
I/O connectors are numbered starting at zero.
