National Instruments NI PCIe-8255R - Manual

NI PCIe-8255R Quick Start Guide
The NI PCIe-8255R is an IEEE 1394a 1 and IEEE 1394b interface device
for PCI Express (PCIe) with reconfigurable I/O (RIO). This document
explains how to install and configure the NI 8255R.
What You Need to Get Started
You need the following items to set up and use the NI 8255R:
❑
NI Vision Acquisition Software 8.2 or later
❑
NI Vision Acquisition Software Release Notes
❑
Computer running Windows 2000/XP with at least one PCIe slot
❑
IEEE 1394 camera
❑
9-pin IEEE 1394 cable for interfacing to IEEE 1394b cameras
❑
6-pin to 9-pin cable or 6-pin to 9-pin adapter for interfacing to
IEEE 1394a cameras
❑
External power supply to support powering isolated outputs
❑
Optional software packages and documentation:
– NI Vision Development Module
– NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection
– LabVIEW
– LabVIEW FPGA Module
– LabWindows ™ /CVI ™
1 To connect an IEEE 1394a camera to the NI 8255R, you will need a 6-pin to 9-pin cable or a 6-pin to 9-pin adapter.
