Configuration
The NI 6528/6529 device is completely software configurable, so it is not
necessary to set jumpers for I/O configuration.
The PCI-6528 device is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus
Specification, Revision 2.2, and the PXI-6528/6529 device is fully
compliant with the PXI Hardware Specification, Revision 2.1. The
PCI/PXI 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.
Refer to the application software documentation for configuration
instructions.
After the NI 6528/6529 device and the software are installed, the DAQ
device appears under the Devices and Interfaces branch of the
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration tree.
If the DAQ device does not appear in MAX, use the following
troubleshooting guidelines.
• Verify that you are using the correct version of NI-DAQ (NI-DAQ 7.1
or later for the NI 6528, and NI-DAQ 8.6 or later for the NI 6529).
To download the most recent National Instruments drivers, go to
ni.com/drivers.
• Press <F5> to refresh the MAX window, or close and re-open 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.
