    Store the devices in the antistatic package when they are not in use. Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment you are using the NI 6589 in meets the following specifications. Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, 0 °C to 55 °C...
  • Page 5: Installing The Ni 6589

    Use a shielded 50 Ω coaxial cable with an SMA plug end to connect to the PFI 0 and CLOCK IN connectors on the NI 6589 front panel. Use the NI SHB12X-B12X shielded cable (NI part number 192344-01) or the NI SHB12X-H3X24 differential flying-lead cable (NI part number 196236-1R5) to connect to the DDC connector.
  • Page 6: Accessories

    A flying lead cable, the NI SHB12X-H3X24, is also available for differential signals. This cable offers connectivity similar to that found on a typical logic analyzer, so you can use it in logic analyzer-type applications. This cable is shown in the following figure. 6 | ni.com | NI 6589 Getting Started Guide...
