Installing the Softw
are
Close all programs before installing the software. NI recommends installing your software
before installing the PXIe-5170/5171 hardware.
Install your software in the following order:
1.
Install the latest service packs for your operating system.
2. Install NI LabVIEW.
Refer to the LabVIEW Installation Guide for installation instructions for LabVIEW and
system requirements for LabVIEW software. Refer to the LabVIEW Upgrade Notes for
additional information about upgrading to the most recent version of LabVIEW for
Windows.
3. (Optional) Install NI 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.
Note Installation of the LabVIEW FPGA Module is required to customize the
behavior of the device FPGA if you are using the instrument design libraries.
4. (Recommended) Install the latest service pack for LabVIEW and any LabVIEW modules
you are using.
5. Insert the driver software DVD into the DVD drive.
The driver software installer should open automatically
. If the installation window does
not appear, navigate to the DVD drive, double-click the drive, and double-click
autorun.exe.
Note You can also download the software from ni.com/downloads
.
6. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts to install the default installation.

Windows users may see access and security messages during installation. Accept the
prompts to complete the installation.
Note For troubleshooting information, contact NI technical support or visit
ni.com/support.
7. When the installer completes, restart your system.
Installing the PXIe-5170/5171
Caution To prevent damage to the PXIe-5170/5171 caused by ESD or
contamination, handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.
Y
ou must install the software before installing the hardware.
Before you install the hardware, refer to the guidelines in the Maintain Forced-Air Cooling
Note to Users included in the PXIe-5170/5171 kit to ensure that the PXIe-5170/5171 can cool
itself effectively. This document is also available at ni.com/manuals.
The PXIe-5170/5171 is a single-slot module with one backplane connector. The module may
be installed into any PXI Express-compatible slot.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the
PXIe-5170/5171. The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical
damage while you install the PXIe-5170/5171.
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. If the chassis has multiple fan speed settings, ensure the fans are set to the highest setting.
Note Inadequate air circulation could cause the temperature inside the chassis
to rise above the optimal operating temperature for the PXIe-5170/5171,
potentially causing thermal shutdown, shorter life spans, or improper
performance.
5.
Position the chassis so that inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed.
For more information about optimal chassis positioning, refer to the chassis
documentation.
6. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
7. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that
indicate the slot types.

Configuring the Hardware in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your National Instruments
hardware. MAX informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how
they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with the instrument design libraries and
NI-SCOPE.
1.
Launch MAX by navigating to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI MAX.
2. In the Configuration pane, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed
devices. Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3. Expand your Chassis tree item.
MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. PXIe-5170/5171 devices appear as NI-RIO
devices in the list. Your default device names may vary.
Note If you do not see your hardware listed, refer to the Tr
oubleshooting
section of this document.
4. Record the device identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the PXIe-5170/5171.
Caution When you install, uninstall, or move an NI-RIO device in your
system, resource identification of your NI-RIO devices may change. Whenever
any of these changes occur, verify resource identification of all your NI-RIO
devices in MAX, and, if necessary
, make changes to your software and
documentation.
Self-Calibration
Self-calibration adjusts the PXIe-5170/5171 for variations in the module environment.
Perform a complete self-calibration after first installing your module and letting it warm up for
15 minutes.
Note Warm-up begins after the chassis is powered, the device is recognized by the
host, and the device is configured using the instrument design libraries or
NI-SCOPE
. Running an included sample project or running self-calibration using
NI MAX will configure the device and start warm-up.
The PXIe-5170/5171 modules are externally calibrated at the factory; however, you should
perform a self-calibration in any of the following situations:
PXIe-5170/5171 Getting Started Guide | © National Instr
uments | 13
Page 14
• After first installing the PXIe-5170/5171 into your chassis
• After any module in the chassis is installed, uninstalled, or moved
•
When the system is in an environment where the ambient temperature varies or the
module temperature has drifted more than ±5 °C from the temperature at the last selfcalibration
• To periodically adjust for small performance drifts that occur with product aging
To programmatically self-calibrate the PXIe-5170/5171 when using instrument design
libraries, use the Self Calibrate VI located on the Functions»FPGA Interface»Software-
Designed Instruments» Oscilloscopes»NI PXIe-5170R/5171R»Calibration palette.
To programmatically self-calibrate the PXIe-5170/5171 when using NI-SCOPE, use the Self
Calibrate function located on the Functions»Measurement I/O»NI-SCOPE»Calibration
palette.
You can also self-calibrate the PXIe-5170/5171 by pressing the Self Calibrate button for the
device in MAX.
