Installing the PXIe-8246
Notice To prevent damage to the PXIe-8246 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.

PXIe-8246 Getting Started
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage
while you install the module.
2. Power o 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 a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the
symbols that indicate the slot types.
Figure 1. Chassis Compatibility Symbols

1. PXI Express System Controller Slot
2. PXI Peripheral Slot
3. PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral Slot
4. PXI Express System Timing Slot
5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot
6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.
7. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the
chassis. Slide the module into the slot until it is fully inserted.
8. Secure the module 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.
9. Cover all empty slots using EMC filler panels or fill using slot blockers to
maximize cooling air flow, depending on your application.

10. Connect an Ethernet cable to a GigE Vision camera, then connect the camera
to the PXIe-8246 front panel.
11. Power on the chassis.
Note The first time you start the development computer aer
installing the hardware, allow several seconds for the drivers to load.
Confirming the Device is Recognized
To confirm that the device is properly installed and the hardware is recognized,
complete the following steps:
1. Select Start » All Programs » National Instruments » Measurement &
Automation Explorer to open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
2. Verify that the camera connected to the PXIe-8246 appears under My
System » Devices and Interfaces » NI-IMAQdx Devices.

Configuring the PXIe-8246 in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which NI hardware products are in the system and
how they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with NI Vision Acquisition
Soware (VAS).
1. Launch MAX.
2. In the configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of
installed NI hardware.
Installed modules appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3. Expand your Chassis tree item.
MAX lists all modules installed in the chassis. Your default names may vary.
Note If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the
list of installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power o the
system, ensure the module is correctly installed, and restart.
4. Record the identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the PXIe-8246.
Troubleshooting
If an issue persists aer you complete a troubleshooting procedure, search our
KnowledgeBase for additional information our technical support engineers create
as they answer common user questions and resolve unexpected issues.
What Should I Do if the PXIe-8246 Does Not Appear in MAX?
1. In the MAX configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces.
2. Expand the Chassis tree to see the list of installed hardware, and press <F5>
to refresh the list.
