GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI 5742
32-Channel Signal Generator
Note Before you begin, install and configure your chassis and controller.
The NI 5742 is a 32-channel, 1 MS/s analog output adapter module designed to work in
conjunction with your NI FlexRIO™ FPGA module.
The NI 5742 features 16-bit analog output channels that can be configured to drive either
unipolar or bipolar output.
This document explains how to install and connect signals for the NI 5742R, which is
composed of a FlexRIO FPGA module and the NI 5742.
Caution The protection provided by the NI 5742 can be impaired if it is used in a
manner not described in this document.
The following figure shows an example of a properly connected FlexRIO device.

Connecting Cables
• Use any shielded50 Ω SMA cable to connect signals to the connectors on the front panel
of your NI 5742
• Use the SHH19-H19-AUX cable (NI part number: 152629-01 or 152629-02) to connect
to the digital I/O (DIO) and programmable function interface (PFI) signals on the AUX
I/O connector. NI recommends using the SCB-19 connector block to access the DIO and
PFI signals.
• Use the NI SHC68-C68-D4 VHDCI cable (NI part number: 196275-01) to connect to the
