The NI 6589 is a FlexRIO adapter module designed to work in conjunction with FlexRIO FPGA modules and Controllers for FlexRIO. The NI 6589 features 20 LVDS channels (16 data and 4 PFI), and sample rates up to 1 Gbit/s on LVDS channels This document explains how to install and configure the NI 6589.
To ensure the specified EMC performance, you must attach EMI gaskets Caution (NI part number 746228-01) to both sides of your NI 6589 before using. To ensure the specified EMC performance, you must install PXI EMC Caution Filler Panels (NI part number 778700-01) in all open chassis slots.
Store the devices in the antistatic package when they are not in use. Preparing the Environment Ensure that the environment you are using the NI 6589 in meets the following specifications. Operating temperature (IEC 60068-2-1, 0 °C to 55 °C...
Use a shielded 50 Ω coaxial cable with an SMA plug end to connect to the PFI 0 and CLOCK IN connectors on the NI 6589 front panel. Use the NI SHB12X-B12X shielded cable (NI part number 192344-01) or the NI SHB12X-H3X24 differential flying-lead cable (NI part number 196236-1R5) to connect to the DDC connector.
A flying lead cable, the NI SHB12X-H3X24, is also available for differential signals. This cable offers connectivity similar to that found on a typical logic analyzer, so you can use it in logic analyzer-type applications. This cable is shown in the following figure. 6 | ni.com | NI 6589 Getting Started Guide...
Front Panel and Connector Pinouts The NI 6589 provides one PFI signal and one clock signal through the two SMA connectors on the device front panel. Additionally, the NI 6589 provides sixteen LVDS signals, four LVDS PFI signals, three single-ended PFI signals, and an LVDS clock out signal on the Digital Data &...

Block Diagrams The following figures show the data flow through the NI 6589. Single-ended data lines use standard clock levels to interpret data as either a binary zero or a one in high-speed digital data transfers.
The FlexRIO adapter module ships with socketed CLIP items that add module I/O to the LabVIEW project. Related Information Block Diagrams on page 10 12 | ni.com | NI 6589 Getting Started Guide...
