Configuration
The NI PCI/PXI/PCIe-6509 devices are fully compliant with the PCI Local
Bus Specification Revision 2.2, the PXI Hardware Specification
Revision 2.1, and the PCI Express Electromechanical Specification
Revision 1.1, respectively. The PCI/PXI/PCIe system automatically
allocates all device resources, including the base address and interrupt
level. The device base address is mapped into PCI memory space. It is
not necessary to perform configuration steps after the system powers up.
Before installing the NI 6509 device, you must install the software you plan
to use with the device. Refer to the software documentation for
configuration instructions.
After you install the software and the NI 6509 device, the device appears
under the Devices and Interfaces branch of the Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration tree.
If the NI 6509 does not appear in MAX, use the following troubleshooting
guidelines:
Verify that you are using the correct version of the NI-DAQmx driver
software (version 7.1 or later for the NI PCI/PXI-6509 and version 9.2
or later for the NI PCIe-6509). To download the most recent National
Instruments drivers, visit the NI Web site at ni.com and select
Download Software»Drivers and Updates.
Press to refresh the MAX window, or close and reopen MAX.
Restart the computer.
Power off and unplug the computer or chassis, and install the device
in a different slot. Refer to the DAQ Getting Started guides for
installation instructions and safety guidelines.
(NI PCI-6509 only) You must install the NI PCI-6509 into a slot that
provides 3.3 V. Check that the 3.3 V LED (reference designator
DS1—located on the visible edge of the underside of the installed
device) is lit. If not, check that the PC motherboard provides 3.3 V
to the PCI bus.

NI 6509 User Guide and Specifications
Programming Devices in Software
NI measurement devices are packaged with the NI-DAQmx driver
software, an extensive library of functions and VIs you can call from your
application software, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows™/CVI™, to
program all the features of your NI measurement devices. NI-DAQmx
provides an application programming interface (API), which is a library of
VIs, functions, classes, attributes, and properties for creating applications
for your device. NI-DAQmx also includes a collection of programming
examples to help you get started developing an application. You can
modify example code and save it in an application. You can use examples
to develop a new application or add example code to an existing
application. Refer to the DAQ Getting Started guides for more information
about NI-DAQmx.
The NI PCI/PXI-6509 uses NI-DAQmx 7.1 or later, whereas the
NI PCIe-6509 requires NI-DAQmx 9.2 or later.
To locate LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI examples, open the
NI Example Finder:
In LabVIEW, select Help»Find Examples.
In LabWindows/CVI, select Help»NI Example Finder.
Measurement Studio, Visual Basic, and ANSI C examples are in the
following directories:
MeasurementStudio\VCNET\Examples\NIDaq
NI-DAQmx examples for Measurement Studio-supported languages
are in the following directories:
–
–
NI-DAQmx examples for ANSI C are in the NI-DAQ\Examples\
DAQmx ANSI C Dev directory
MeasurementStudio\DotNET\Examples\NIDaq
For additional examples, refer to the NI Developer Zone at zone.ni.com.

Safety Information
This section contains important safety information that you must follow
when installing and using National Instruments DIO devices.
Do not operate the device in a manner not specified in this document.
Misuse of the DIO device can result in a hazard. You can compromise
the safety protection built into the DIO device if it is damaged in any way.
If the DIO device is damaged, return it to NI for repair.
Do not substitute parts or modify the DIO device except as described in this
document. Use the DIO device only with the chassis, modules, accessories,
and cables specified in the installation instructions. You must have all
covers and filler panels installed during operation of the DIO device.
Do not operate the DIO device in an explosive atmosphere or where there
may be flammable gases or fumes.
If you need to clean the DIO device, use a soft, nonmetallic brush. Make
sure that the DIO device is completely dry and free from contaminants
before returning it to service.
Operate the DIO device only at or below Pollution Degree 2. Pollution is
foreign matter in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state that can reduce dielectric
strength or surface resistivity. The following is a description of pollution
degrees:
Pollution Degree 1 means no pollution or only dry, nonconductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution Degree 2 means that only nonconductive pollution occurs in
most cases. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution Degree 3 means that conductive pollution occurs, or dry,
nonconductive pollution occurs that becomes conductive due to
condensation.
You must insulate signal connections for the maximum voltage for which
the DIO device is rated. Do not exceed the maximum ratings for the DIO
device. Do not install wiring while the DIO device is live with electrical
signals. Do not remove or add connector blocks when power is connected
to the system. Avoid contact between your body and the connector block
signal when hot swapping modules. Remove power from signal lines
before connecting them to or disconnecting them from the DIO device.

Operate the DIO device at or below the measurement category1 marked
on the hardware label. Measurement circuits are subjected to working
voltages2 and transient stresses (overvoltage) from the circuit to which they
are connected during measurement or test. Installation categories establish
standard impulse withstand voltage levels that commonly occur in
electrical distribution systems. The following is a description of installation
categories:
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits
not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to
as MAINS3 voltage. This category is for measurements of voltages
from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage
measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy
parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-voltage sources,
and electronics.
Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on circuits
directly connected to the electrical distribution system. This category
refers to local-level electrical distribution, such as that provided by a
standard wall outlet (for example, 115 V for U.S. or 230 V for Europe).
Examples of Measurement Category II are measurements performed
on household appliances, portable tools, and similar DIO devices.
Measurement Category III is for measurements performed in the
building installation at the distribution level. This category refers to
measurements on hard-wired equipment such as equipment in fixed
installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers. Other examples
are wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,
socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and stationary motors with
permanent connections to fixed installations.
Measurement Category IV is for measurements performed at the
primary electrical supply installation (<1,000 V). Examples include
electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent
protection devices and on ripple control units.
1 Measurement categories, also referred to as installation categories, are defined in electrical safety standard IEC 61010-1.
2 Working voltage is the highest rms value of an AC or DC voltage that can occur across any particular insulation.
3 MAINS is defined as a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. Suitably rated measuring circuits may
be connected to the MAINS for measuring purposes.
