Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter describes the DIO 6533 (DIO-32HS) devices, lists what you need to get started, describes optional equipment, and explains how to unpack your device. About the DIO 6533 Devices Thank you for buying a National Instruments DIO 6533 device. The 6533 devices are 32-bit, parallel digital I/O interfaces for PC-compatible computers, or PXI or CompactPCI chassis. The 6533 devices offer digital data acquisition, digital waveform generation, and high-speed, flexibl

Chapter 1 Introduction Each 6533 device contains the National Instruments DAQ-DIO chip, providing two independent channels of digital input and output, pattern generation, and handshaking. Each channel offers the following functions: • Selectable data path width (8, 16, or 32 bits) • 16-sample-deep FIFO buffer • 16-bit and 32-bit counters for timebase and interval generation, with a maximum timing resolution of 50 ns • A handshaking controller implementing six flexible timing protocols • St

Chapter 1 Introduction PXI specific features are implemented on the J2 connector of the CompactPCI bus. Table 1-1 lists the J2 pins used by your PXI-6533 device. Your PXI device is compatible with any CompactPCI chassis with a sub-bus that does not drive these lines. Even if the sub-bus is capable of driving these lines, the PXI device is still compatible as long as those pins on the sub-bus are disabled by default and not ever enabled. Damage may result if these lines are driven by the su
