temperature)
Pollution Degree 2
Indoor use only.
Note For complete specifications, refer to the specifications document for your
device at ni.com/manuals.
Installing the Software and Driver
Before installing your hardware, you must install the application software and instrument
driver. Visit NI FlexRIO Driver Supported Versions for FlexRIO Adapters and Modules to
determine which minimum software versions you need for your device. Install the software in
the following order:
1. Install LabVIEW.
Refer to the LabVIEW Installation Guide for installation instructions for LabVIEW and
system requirements for the LabVIEW software. Refer to the LabVIEW Upgrade Notes
for additional information about upgrading to the most recent version of LabVIEW for
Windows. Documentation for LabVIEW is available at ni.com/manuals.
2. Install the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
Refer to the LabVIEW FPGA Module Release and Upgrade Notes for installation
instructions and information about getting started with the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
Documentation for the LabVIEW FPGA Module is available at ni.com/manuals.
3. (Optional) Install the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
1The PXIe-5785 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.
4| ni.com | PXIe-5785 Getting Started Guide
Refer to the LabVIEW Real-Time Module Release and Upgrade Notes for system
requirements, installation instructions, and additional information about using the
LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
4. Install FlexRIO.
Refer to the FlexRIO Readme for system requirements and installation instructions for
FlexRIO. Documentation for FlexRIO is available at ni.com/manuals.
Installing the PXIe-5785
Notice To prevent damage to the PXIe-5785 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.

5. PXI Express Peripheral Slot
PXIe-5785 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.

Notice The maximum input signal levels are valid only when the module is
powered on. To avoid permanent damage to the PXIe-5785, do not apply a signal to
the device when the module is powered down.
Notice Connections that exceed any of the maximum ratings of any connector on
the PXIe-5785 can damage the device and the chassis. NI is not liable for any
damage resulting from such connections.
Configuring the PXIe-5785 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.
2MGTs are available only on devices with KU040 and KU060 FPGAs.
8| ni.com | PXIe-5785 Getting Started Guide
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-5785.
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.
