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.

4| ni.com | NI PXIe-5663 Getting Started Guide

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

double-click autorun.exe.

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 5663

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

the device using the edges or the metal bracket.

You must install NI-RFSA before installing the hardware.

Before you install the hardware, refer to the guidelines in the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling

Note to Users included with the module to ensure that the device can cool itself effectively.

To use the included cables, you must install the NI 5622 IF digitizer module immediately to

the right of the NI 5601 RF downconverter module, and you must install the NI 5652 LO

source module immediately to the left of the NI 5601 RF downconverter module.

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.

slots or PXI Express Hybrid peripheral slots. Refer to the documentation for your chassis

for more information about slot types.

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. Power on the chassis.

1. Using the center pin of a medium semi-rigid SMA-to-SMA cable labeled C, connect the

RF OUT connector on the NI 5652 LO source front panel to the LO IN connector on the

NI 5601 RF downconverter front panel.

2. Using the center pin of a flexible SMA-to-SMA cable, connect the REF IN/OUT

connector on the NI 5652 LO source front panel to the CLK IN connector on the NI 5622

IF digitizer front panel.

3. Using the center pin of a short semi-rigid SMA-to-SMA cable labeled D, connect the

IF OUT connector on the NI 5601 front panel to the IF IN connector on the NI 5622 IF

digitizer front panel.

4. Hand-tighten all SMA cable ends on the SMA connectors after the cable center pins are

correctly aligned and connected. The cable connectors should tighten without much

torque or effort. If a cable bends due to incorrect alignment, remove the cable from the

front panel connector and reconnect the cable center pin on the SMA cable to the SMA

connector.

NI PXIe-5663 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 7

5. Carefully complete tightening all SMA connectors to 1 N · m using an appropriate torque

wrench (not included) or torque screwdriver and SMA driver bit. Tighten only until the

wrench clicks.

Caution Incorrect torque at SMA connections can degrade signal fidelity and

phase-locked loop (PLL) performance and may cause insertion loss. Use an

appropriate torque wrench or torque screwdriver and SMA driver bit to ensure

all SMA connections are properly torqued. SMA connectors for connections to

external equipment may require torque different from 1 N · m, depending on

the connector type, material, and manufacturer.

6. Power on the PXI Express chassis and controller system.

7. Verify that the ACCESS LED is on for all modules.

Troubleshooting on page 20

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

support or visit ni.com/support.

Refer to the NI RF Vector Signal Analyzers Help for more information about how to connect

the NI 5663E using an external clock, how to connect multiple NI 5663E modules, or how to

connect the NI 5663E to the NI PXIe-5673E RF vector signal generator.

Direct Connections to the NI 5601

The NI 5601 is a precision RF instrument that is sensitive to ESD and transients. Ensure you

are making proper direct connections to the NI 5601 to avoid damaging the device.

Caution Apply external signals only while the NI 5601 is powered on. Applying

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

• Ensure you are properly grounded when manipulating cables or antennas connected to the

NI 5601 RF IN connector.

• If you are using noninsulated devices, such as a noninsulated RF antenna, ensure the

devices are maintained in a static-free environment.

• If you are using an active device, such as a preamplifier or switch routed to the NI 5601

RF IN connector, ensure that there are no signal transients greater than the RF and DC

specifications for the device that are being generated and sourced to the NI 5601 RF IN

connector.
