NI-Sync

The NI-Sync driver is required to support operations using the PXIe-6674T timing and
synchronization module, such as combining comparison results across digital pattern
instruments. For more information about using the PXIe-6674T with digital pattern
instruments, refer to the

Installing the PXIe-6570

Caution

 

To prevent damage to the PXIe-6570 caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

1.

Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.

2.

Power off the chassis.

3.

Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4.

Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.

5.

Identify the slots you will use in the chassis.

The PXIe-6570 is a two-slot module with two PXI Express backplane connectors. The
module must be installed into two adjacent PXI Express-compatible slots. If you plan to
use the optional PXIe-6674T Timing and Synchronization Module, reserve the PXI
Express System Timing Slot for its placement in the chassis. The following figure shows
the symbols that indicate the slot types.
