National Instruments 5741 Manuals

GETTING STARTED GUIDE 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™ FPGA module. 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. Caution The protection provided by the NI 5741 can be impaired if it is used in a manner not described in this document. The following figure shows an example of a properly connected FlexRIO device.
