    GETTING STARTED GUIDE PXIe-5774 12-Bit, 6.4 GS/s, DC-Coupled, 2-Channel PXI FlexRIO Digitizer This document explains how to install, configure, test, and use the PXIe-5774. You can program the PXIe-5774 with the following software options. • FlexRIO driver software • NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for FlexRIO (instrument design libraries) Note Before you begin, install and configure your chassis and controller.
  • Page 2: Flexrio Documentation And Resources

    FlexRIO devices. Verifying the System Requirements To use the PXIe-5774, your system must meet certain requirements. For more information about minimum system requirements, recommended system, and supported application development environments (ADEs), refer to the readme, which is available on the software media or online at ni.com/updates.
  • Page 3: Unpacking The Kit

    The following items are included in the device kit: • PXIe-5774 • Documentation: – Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users – PXIe-5774 Getting Started Guide (this document) – PXIe-5774 Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information PXIe-5774 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 3...
  • Page 4: Preparing The Environment

    Documentation for the LabVIEW FPGA Module is available at ni.com/manuals. (Optional) Install the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. The PXIe-5774 requires a chassis with slot cooling capacity ≥58 W. Not all chassis with slot cooling capacity ≥58 W can achieve this ambient temperature range. Refer to the...
