Getting Started Guide

This document explains how to install, configure, and set up the PXIe-446x Sound

and Vibration Module.

Note In this document, the PXIe-4466, PXIe-4467, and PXIe-4468 are

referred to inclusively as the PXIe-446x.

Driver support for the modules was first available in the following NI-DAQmx

versions:

■PXIe-4466—NI-DAQmx 20.7

■PXIe-4467—NI-DAQmx 21.3

■PXIe-4468—NI-DAQmx 22.8

For the list of devices supported by a specific release, refer to the NI-DAQmx

Readme, available on the version-specific download page.

Note Before you begin, install and configure your chassis and controller.

Unpacking the Kit

The PXIe-446x ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge from

damaging device components. To prevent such damage when handling the device,

ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as

your computer chassis, and complete the following steps.

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.

PXIe-4466/4467/4468 Getting Started Guide

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.

Verify the Kit Contents

The following items are necessary to set up and use the PXIe-446x.

■ PXIe-446x analog input/output module

■Module Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document

Other Equipment

The following additional items, not included in the module kit, are necessary to

operate the PXIe-446x.

■PXI Express chassis with

■controller, or

■MXI-Express (card or built-in)

■(optional) LabVIEW

Note For the list of LabVIEW versions supported by a specific version

of NI-DAQmx, refer to the NI-DAQmx Readme, available on the version-

specific download page at ni.com/downloads.

Preparing the Environment

Refer to the module Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information

document shipped with your device for the environmental specifications required

for the PXIe-446x.

Note This model is intended for use in indoor applications only.

Installing the Software

You must be an Administrator to install NI soware on your computer.

1. Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows™/CVI™.

2. Download the NI-DAQmx driver soware installer from ni.com/downloads.

NI Package Manager downloads with the driver soware to handle the

installation. Refer to the NI Package Manager Manual for more information

about installing, removing, and upgrading NI soware using NI Package

Manager.

Driver support for the modules was first available in the following NI-DAQmx

versions:

■PXIe-4466—NI-DAQmx 20.7

■PXIe-4467—NI-DAQmx 21.3

■PXIe-4468—NI-DAQmx 22.8

3. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts.

Note Windows users may see access and security messages during

installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.

4. When the installer completes, select Restart in the dialog box that prompts

you to restart, shut down, or restart later.

Note Ensure that you have installed the latest version of NI

Package Manager. To access the download page for NI Package

Manager, go to ni.com/info and enter info code NIPMDownload.

Installing the PXIe-446x

Notice To prevent damage to the PXIe-446x caused by ESD or

contamination, handle the module using the edges or the metal bracket.

Note To maintain forced air cooling in the PXIe system, refer to the

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling document.

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 o 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-4466/4467/4468 Getting Started Guide

PXIe-446x modules can be placed in PXI peripheral slots or PXIExpress Hybrid

peripheral 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.

3. Ejector Handle in Downward (Unlatched) Position

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 either filler panels (standard or EMC) or slot

blockers with filler panels, depending on your application.

PXIe-4466/4467/4468 Getting Started Guide

Note For more information about installing slot blockers and filler

panels, go to ni.com/r/pxiblocker.

12. Power on the chassis.

Con󽘀guring the PXIe-446x 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 NI-DAQmx.

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 o 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-446x.

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.
