Preparing the Environment

Ensure that the environment you are using the PXIe-5667 in meets the following

specifications.

Operating ambient temperature

(IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2)

0 °C to 55 °C

Operating relative humidity

(IEC 60068-2-56)

10% to 90%, noncondensing

temperature)

Pollution Degree 2

Indoor use only.

Caution Clean the hardware with a soft, nonmetallic brush or lint free cloth. Make

sure that the hardware is completely dry and free from contaminants before returning

it to service.

Note Refer to the PXIe-5667 (7 GHz) Specifications at ni.com/manuals for

complete specifications.

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.

PXIe-5667 (7 GHz) Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 5

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 PXIe-5667

Caution To prevent damage to the PXIe-5667 caused by ESD or contamination,

handle the module 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 PXIe-5694 IF conditioning module

immediately to the left of the PXIe-5605 RF downconverter module, the PXIe-5622 IF

digitizer module immediately to the left of the PXIe-5694 module, the PXIe-5653 LO source

module immediately to the right of the PXIe-5605 RF downconverter module, and the

PXIe-5693 RF preselector module immediately to the right of the PXIe-5653 module.

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

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

install the module.

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 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.

PXIe-5667 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 downward (unlatched) position.

8. 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.

3. Ejector Handle in Downward (Unlatched) Position

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

10. 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.

11. Cover all empty slots using EMC filler panels or fill using slot blockers to maximize

cooling air flow, depending on your application.

12. Power on the chassis.

8| ni.com | PXIe-5667 (7 GHz) Getting Started Guide

6. Using the three short, silver flexible RF SMA-to-SMA coaxial cables, connect the LO1,

LO2, and LO3 connectors on the PXIe-5653 front panel to the associated LO1 IN,

LO2 IN, and LO3 IN connectors on the PXIe-5605 front panel.

7. 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.

8. 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.

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

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

Troubleshooting on page 29

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 information about how to connect the

PXIe-5667 using an external clock or how to connect multiple PXIe-5667 modules.

Direct Connections to the PXIe-5605

The PXIe-5605 is a precision RF instrument that is sensitive to ESD and transients. Ensure

you are making proper direct connections to the PXIe-5605 to avoid damaging the device.

Caution Apply external signals only while the PXIe-5605 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

PXIe-5605 RF IN connector.

• If you are using noninsulated devices, such as an 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

PXIe-5605 RF IN connector, ensure that the device cannot generate signal transients

greater than the RF and DC specifications of the PXIe-5605 RF IN connector.
