– USB cable (USB devices only) – NI SignalExpress media (USB devices only) SMC-based devices are based on the National Instruments Synchronization Note and Memory Core architecture. For more information, refer to the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help. Other Required Items In addition to the items contained in the kit, you need the following items: ...
Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the module front panel. Performance may suffer if both screws are not tightened properly. Verify that the PXI/PXI Express chassis fans are operable and free of dust and other contaminants that may restrict airflow. Before operating the module, cover all empty chassis slots using filler panels or slot blockers, which you can purchase at ni.com...
NI PXIe-5185/5186 Startup Behavior The first time you install the NI 5185/5186 in the chassis, the NI-SCOPE driver launches a device recognition wizard. After the wizard completes, the NI 5185/5186 module goes through an initialization procedure that lasts approximately 5 to 10 minutes. You must wait until the initialization procedure completes before using the module.
USB Cable Strain Relief The two strain relief options for your USB cable are as follows: • Groove Method—Press the USB cable into one of the two grooves on the underside of the USB device. Choose the USB cable groove that matches your USB cable size, as shown in Figure 7.
Panel Mounting To mount the USB-513x to a board or panel, complete the following steps while referring to Figure 9. Figure 9. Mounting the USB-513x on a Panel Do not apply the rubber feet to the USB-513x when panel mounting the Note device.
