NI 5741
16-Channel Signal Generator
Note
Before you begin, install and configure your chassis and controller.
The NI 5741 is a 16-channel, 1 MS/s analog output adapter module designed to work in
conjunction with your NI FlexRIO
The NI 5741 features 16-bit analog output channels that can be configured to drive either
unipolar or bipolar output.
This document explains how to install and connect signals for the NI 5741R, which is
composed of a FlexRIO FPGA module and the NI 5741.
