NOTE TO USERS

WHERE TO START WITH YOUR PCI-6023E/6024E/6025E

Thank you for buying a National Instruments PCI-6023E, PCI-6024E, or PCI-6025E board. The PCI-6025E features 16 channels (eight differential) of analog input, two channels of analog output, a 100-pin connector, and 32 lines of digital I/O. The PCI-6024E features 16 channels of analog input, two channels of analog output, a 68-pin connector and eight lines of digital I/O. The PCI-6023E is identical to the PCI-6024E, except that it does not have analog output channels. The PCI-6023E, PCI-6024E, and PCI-6025E kits include NI-DAQ driver software, which provides an extensive library of functions for digital I/O boards and other devices.

Documentation
PCI-6023E/6024E/6025E
For detailed information about the PCI-6023E, PCI-6024E, or PCI-6025E, see the PCI-6023E/6024E/6025E User Manual. This manual is available in electronic format on your NI-DAQ software distribution CD. If you prefer a hard copy of this manual, you can print it from the Acrobat reader or you can order a printed, bound copy from National Instruments (part number 322072A-01). The user manual provides signal connection information, a hardware overview, and product specifications. The manual also contains warranty information and important warnings explaining the correct use of the PCI-6023E, PCI-6024E, and PCI-6025E.

NI-DAQ
If you are using NI-DAQ as your software interface to the PCI-6023E, PCI-6024E, or PCI-6025E, install the NI-DAQ software documentation from the NI-DAQ distribution CD in addition to installing the PCI-6023E/6024E/6025E hardware documentation.

If you are using software other than NI-DAQ, use the documentation included with that software.

Installation
Software and Documentation
If you are using software other than NI-DAQ, consult your software documentation for software installation instructions. Refer to the NI-DAQ release notes to install the NI-DAQ software and related documentation. When prompted during the software installation process to select components, select the option to install documentation. Choose the PCI-6023E/6024E/6025E User Manual and any other documents you want, such as the NI-DAQ software documents. To install the hardware documentation without installing NI-DAQ software, deselect all components other than the documentation option.

Hardware
Note

Install your software before you install your board. After installing your software, you are ready to install your hardware. Your board will fit in any 5 V PCI expansion slot in your computer. However, to achieve best noise performance, leave as much room as possible between your board and other devices. The following are general installation instructions. Consult your computer user manual or technical reference manual for specific instructions and warnings. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Turn off and unplug your computer. Remove the top cover of your computer. Remove the expansion slot cover on the back panel of the computer. Insert the board into a 5 V PCI slot. Gently rock the board to ease it into place. It may be a tight fit, but do not force the board into place. Screw the mounting bracket of the board to the back panel rail of the computer. Replace the top cover of your computer. Plug in and turn on your computer.

The board is installed. You are now ready to configure your software. Refer to your software documentation for configuration instructions.
