Unpacking the Kit
Notice To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the module,
ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as
your computer chassis.
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.
2. Remove the module from the package and inspect it for loose components or other signs
of damage.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Note Do not install a module if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
Store the module in the antistatic package when the module is not in use.
PXIe-6594 Kit Contents
The following items are included in the device kit:
• PXIe-6594
• Documentation:

–PXIe-6594 Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information
Preparing the Environment
Ensure the environment in which you are using the PXIe-6594 meets the following
specifications.
Operating environment
Ambient temperature range 0 °C to 55 °C1
Relative humidity range 10% to 90%, noncondensing
Maximum altitude 2,000 m (800 mbar) (at 25 °C ambient
temperature)
Pollution Degree 2
1The PXIe-6594 requires a chassis with slot cooling capacity ≥58 W. Not all chassis with slot
cooling capacity ≥58 W can achieve this ambient temperature range. Refer to the PXI Chassis
Manual for specifications to determine the ambient temperature ranges your chassis can achieve.

Indoor use only.
Note For complete specifications, refer to the specifications document for your
device at ni.com/manuals.
Installing the Software and Driver Using NI
Package Manager
Before you install your hardware, you must install the application software and driver using NI
Package Manager. If you do not already have NI Package Manager installed, visit ni.com/r/
nipmdownload to download.
Follow the prompts in NI Package Manager to install the software in the following order:
1. Install LabVIEW.
2. Install the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
3. (Optional) Install the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
4. Install FlexRIO.
Installing the PXIe-6594
Notice To prevent damage to the PXIe-6594 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.
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-6594 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.

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.

Configuring the PXIe-6594 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 FlexRIO.
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 off 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-6594.
5. Self-test the hardware by selecting the item in the configuration tree and clicking Self-
Test in the MAX toolbar.
The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.
