Pollution Degree 2

Indoor use only.

Note Refer to the device specifications on ni.com/manuals for complete

specifications.

Safety

Caution Always refer to the specifications document for your device before

connecting signals. Failure to observe the specified maximum signal ratings can

cause shock, a fire hazard, or damage to the devices connected to the NI 414x. NI is

not liable for any damage or injuries resulting from incorrect signal connections.

Installing the Software

You must be an Administrator to install NI software on your computer.

1. Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows™/CVI™.

2. Insert the driver software media into your computer. The installer should open

automatically.

If the installation window does not appear, navigate to the drive, double-click it, and

double-click autorun.exe.

4| ni.com | NI PXIe-414x Getting Started Guide

3. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts.

Note Windows users may see access and security messages during

installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.

4. When the installer completes, select Restart in the dialog box that prompts you to restart,

shut down, or restart later.

Installing the NI 414x

Caution To prevent damage to the device caused by ESD or contamination, handle

the device using the edges or the metal bracket.

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

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

install the modules.

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 connectors from all the captive screws on the module front

panel.

5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that

indicate the slot types.

4. PXI Express System Timing Slot

5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot

NI 414x modules can be placed in PXI Express peripheral slots, PXI Express hybrid

peripheral slots, or PXI Express system timing slots.

6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.

7. Ensure that the ejector handle is in the unlatched (downward) position.

8. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the chassis. Slide

the device into the slot until it is fully inserted.

9. Latch the module in place by pulling up on the ejector handle.

10. Secure the device front panel to the chassis using the front-panel mounting screws.

Note Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases mechanical

stability and also electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can

improve the signal quality and electromagnetic performance.

11. Cover all empty slots using filler panels or slot blockers to maximize cooling air flow.

12. Attach output connections.

a) Connect the output connector assembly to the device. Tighten any thumbscrews on

the output connector assembly to hold it in place.

13. Power on the chassis.

Configuring the NI 414x in MAX

Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX

informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how they are configured.

MAX is automatically installed with NI-DCPower.

1. Launch MAX.

2. In the configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed

devices.

Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.

3. Expand your Chassis tree item.

6| ni.com | NI PXIe-414x Getting Started Guide

MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. Your default device names may vary.

Note If you do not see your device listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of

installed devices. If the device is still not listed, power off the system, ensure

the device is correctly installed, and restart.

4. Record the device identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when

programming the NI 414x.

5. Self-test the device by selecting the device in the configuration tree and clicking Self-Test

in the MAX toolbar.

The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.

Programming the NI 414x

You can generate signals interactively using the NI-DCPower Soft Front Panel (SFP) or you

can use the NI-DCPower instrument driver to program your device in the supported ADE of

your choice.

Troubleshooting

If an issue persists after you complete a troubleshooting procedure, contact NI technical

support or visit ni.com/support.

What Should I Do if the NI 414x Doesn't Appear in

MAX?

1. In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces.

2. Expand the Chassis tree to see the list of installed devices, and press <F5> to refresh the

list.

3. If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure that all hardware is correctly

installed, and restart the system.

4. Navigate to the Device Manager.

Operating System Description

Windows 8 Right-click the Start screen, and select All apps»Control Panel»

Hardware and Sound»Device Manager.

Windows 7 Select Start»Control Panel»Device Manager.

Windows Vista Select Start»Control Panel»System and Maintenance»Device

Manager.

Windows XP Select Start»Control Panel»System»Hardware»Device

Manager.

5. If you are using a PXI or PXI Express controller, verify that a National Instruments

entry appears in the system device list. Reinstall NI-DCPower and the device if error

conditions appear in the list. If you are using an MXI controller, right-click PCI-to-PCI

Bridge, and select Properties from the shortcut menu to verify that the bridge is enabled.

What Should I Do if the Module Fails the Self-Test?

1. Restart the system.

2. Launch MAX, and perform the self-test again.

3. Power off the chassis.

4. Reinstall the failed module in a different slot.

5. Power on the chassis.

6. Perform the self-test again.

Why Is the ACCESS LED Off When the Chassis Is

On?

The LEDs may not illuminate until the device has been configured in MAX. Before

proceeding, verify that the NI 414x appears in MAX.

8| ni.com | NI PXIe-414x Getting Started Guide

If the ACCESS LED fails to illuminate after you power on the PXI Express chassis, a problem

may exist with the PXI Express power rails, a hardware module, or the LED.

1. Caution Apply external signals only while the NI 414x is powered on.

Applying external signals while the device is powered off may cause damage.

Disconnect any signals from the PXI Express module front panels.

2. Remove any front panel connections from the NI 414x.

3. Power off the PXI Express chassis.

4. Remove the module from the PXI Express chassis and inspect it for damage. Do not

reinstall a damaged device.

5. Install the module in a different PXI Express chassis slot from which you removed it.

6. Power on the PXI Express chassis.

7. Verify that the device appears in MAX.

8. Reset the device in MAX and perform a self-test.

If the ACCESS LED still fails to illuminate and failures continue, contact NI technical support

or visit ni.com/support.
