Compliance Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference Regulations Determining FCC Class The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only) or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products. Depending on where it

Chapter 1 Introduction instrument (VI) to the FPGA. Using the FPGA Module, you can graphically design the timing and functionality of the R Series device. If you only have LabVIEW but not the FPGA Module, you cannot create new FPGA VIs, but you can create VIs that run on Windows or a LabVIEW Real-Time (RT) target to control existing FPGA VIs. Some applications require tasks such as real-time, floating-point processing or datalogging while performing I/O and logic on the R Series device. Yo

Chapter 1 Introduction PXI-specific features are implemented on the J2 connector of the CompactPCI bus. Table 1-2 lists the J2 pins used by the NI PXI-78xxR. The NI 78xxR is compatible with any CompactPCI chassis with a sub-bus that does not drive these lines. Even if the sub-bus is capable of driving these lines, the R Series device is still compatible as long as those pins on the sub-bus are disabled by default and are never enabled. Caution Damage can result if the J2 lines are driven b

Chapter 1 Introduction Flexible Functionality Flexible functionality allows the NI 78xxR to match individual application requirements and to mimic the functionality of fixed I/O devices. For example, you can configure an R Series device in one application for three 32-bit quadrature encoders and then reconfigure the R Series device in another application for eight 16-bit event counters. You also can use the R Series device with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module in timing and triggering applicati

Chapter 1 Introduction The FPGA does not retain the VI when the R Series device is powered off, so you must reload the VI each time you power on the device. You can load the VI from onboard flash memory or from software over the bus interface. One advantage to using flash memory is that the VI can start executing almost immediately after power up, instead of waiting for the computer to completely boot and load the FPGA VI. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information about how to store y

Chapter 1 Introduction Note If you use the R Series device without the FPGA Module, you can use the RIO Device Setup utility, available by selecting Start»All Programs»National Instruments» NI-RIO»RIO Device Setup to download precomplied FPGA VIs to the flash memory of the R Series device. This utility installs with NI-RIO. You also can use the utility to configure the analog input mode, to synchronize the clock on the R Series device to the PXI clock (for NI PXI-78xxR only), and to configur

Chapter 1 Introduction Custom Cabling NI offers a variety of cables for connecting signals to the NI 78xxR. If you need to develop a custom cable, a nonterminated shielded cable is available from NI. The SHC68-NT-S connects to the NI 78xxR VHDCI connectors on one end of the cable. The other end of the cable is not terminated. This cable ships with a wire list identifying the wires that correspond to each NI 78xxR pin. You can use this cable to quickly connect the NI 78xxR signals that you

Chapter 1 Introduction � Pollution Degree 3 means that conductive pollution occurs, or dry, nonconductive pollution occurs that becomes conductive due to condensation. You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which the device is rated. Do not exceed the maximum ratings for the device. Do not install wiring while the device is live with electrical signals. Do not remove or add connector blocks when power is connected to the system. Avoid contact between your body and
