Electromagnetic Compatibility Guidelines

This product was tested and complies with the regulatory requirements and limits for

electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) stated in the product specifications. These requirements

and limits provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the product is

operated in the intended operational electromagnetic environment.

This product is intended for use in industrial locations. However, harmful interference may

occur in some installations, when the product is connected to a peripheral device or test object,

or if the product is used in residential or commercial areas. To minimize interference with radio

and television reception and prevent unacceptable performance degradation, install and use this

product in strict accordance with the instructions in the product documentation.

Furthermore, any modifications to the product not expressly approved by National Instruments

could void your authority to operate it under your local regulatory rules.

Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, operate this product only with

HDMI cables marked as “High Speed HDMI Cable” or “High Speed HDMI Cable

with Ethernet.”

Verifying System Requirements

To verify that you can use the device in your system, refer to the readme of the software with

which you use the device with for minimum system requirements, recommended system

requirements, and supported application development environments (ADEs).

Note If you have installed NI PQA, NI VMS, or NI AudioMASTER, their

readmes are available at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»

<Software Application>»Documentation, where <Software Application>

represents the Start menu folder for NI PQA, NI VMS, or NI AudioMASTER.

Unpacking

The device ships in an antistatic package to prevent device damage due to electrostatic discharge

(ESD).

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

To unpack the device while avoiding ESD damage, complete the following steps:

1. Ground yourself with a grounding strap or by touching a grounded object.

2. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer chassis before removing the

device from the package.

3. Remove the device from the package and inspect it for loose components or any other signs

of damage.

NI PXIe-1491 Getting Started Guide |© National Instruments |3

Notify NI if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device in your

chassis.

Store the device in the original antistatic package when not installed in a chassis to avoid damage.

Required Items

In addition to the items in the kit, you need the following items:

PXI Express chassis1

1/8 in. flathead screwdriver

PXI Express controller that meets minimum system requirements or MXI Express

connection to a computer that meets minimum or recommended system requirements.2

Optional Items

Refer to Appendix A: Device Front Panel for information about cables you may need for the

front panel connectors.

1 Due to the high bandwidth considerations of high-definition video, you should use a PXI Express chassis

that supports at least PCI Express x4 communications. Using multiple NI PXIe-1491 devices may require

a configuration that supports higher bandwidth.

2 For high-bandwidth video such as 1080p/60Hz, NI recommends using an MXI Express connection to an

external high-performance computer that meets recommended system requirements. Furthermore, only

controllers supporting at least one PCI Express x4 link are recommended. Refer to the readme of the

software with which you use the device for more information.

Installing the Software

The NI PXIe-1491 is supported through application software. Complete the following steps to

install software for the NI PXIe-1491:

1. (Optional) If you are developing a NI PXIe-1491 application or testing sequence, install an

ADE, such as LabVIEW or TestStand.

2. Install one of the following software applications to automatically install software support

for the NI PXIe-1491:

• NI PQA 1.5 or later

• NI VMS 3.2 or later

• NI AudioMASTER 6.3 or later

For installation instructions for these software applications, refer to the following documents:

• NI Picture Quality Analysis Getting Started Guide

• NI Video Measurement Suite Readme

• NI Video Measurement Suite Help

• NI AudioMASTER Readme

To program your device using these software applications, refer to the Programming the Device

section of this document. There is no stand-alone driver or hardware API for the NI PXIe-1491.

Installing the Device

You must install the software before installing the hardware.

Caution Power off the chassis before installing the device. The device is not

hot-swappable. Adding or removing the device while the chassis is powered on can

result in blown chassis fuses or damage to the chassis and the device.

Follow proper ESD precautions to ensure you are grounded before installing the

hardware. Refer to the specifications document for your device for important safety

and compliance information.

NI PXIe-1491 Getting Started Guide |© National Instruments |5

Refer to Figure 1 and complete the following steps to install the device.

Figure 1. Installing a PXI Express Device

1. Power off and unplug the PXI Express chassis.

2. If the PXI Express chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure that the fans are set to high.

3. Position the PXI Express chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed. Refer to

the chassis documentation for more information.

4. Identify an unused PXI Express or PXI Express hybrid peripheral slot in the PXI Express

chassis, and remove its filler panel. Refer to Table 1 to identify slots. Refer to the chassis

documentation for details.

the card engages with the card guides in the chassis, as shown in Figure 1.

8. When you begin to feel resistance, pull up on the injector/ejector handle to latch the device.

9. Tighten the screws at the top and bottom of the device front panel.

10. Cover all empty slots using filler panels.

11. Plug in and power on the PXI Express chassis.

12. Proceed to the Configuring and Testing the Device section of this document.

Maintaining the Hardware

Refer to Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users for information about maintaining the

chassis. For specific information about cleaning procedures and other recommended

maintenance, refer to the chassis user documentation.

Uninstalling the Device

To remove the device from the chassis, complete the following steps:

1. Power off the chassis.

2. Ensure that you are grounded with a grounding strap or are touching a grounded metal

surface. To avoid ESD, do not touch the exposed pins of the PXI Express connector or any

exposed circuitry on the device.

3. Remove the device.

Store the device in the original antistatic package when not installed in a chassis to avoid damage.

Hot Surface During operation, the metal surfaces of the device may become hot.

Be careful when removing the device from the chassis or when moving it to a

different peripheral slot. When removing the device, hold it by only the ejector handle

and front panel.

Configuring and Testing the Device

To configure the device, complete the following steps:

1. If you are using an embedded PXI Express controller, power on the chassis. If you are using

an MXI controller, power on the chassis first, then power on the computer.

2. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) at Start»All Programs»

National Instruments»Measurement & Automation Explorer.

3. Expand Devices and Interfaces.

4. Check that the PXI Express device appears under the appropriate chassis. If your chassis

does not appear under Devices and Interfaces, refer to the chassis documentation to

identify the chassis.

NI PXIe-1491 Getting Started Guide |© National Instruments |7
