Please tell me about how to use NI-PXI 6221

I want to use NI-PXI 6221 for my project. I am new this concept, so I would appreciate if you can tell me about it step by step

Please tell as more details about what you want to do (aquire voltages, set digital lines?) and what you have done so far.

After giving a thought, I have planned to use some PCI module. Actually I would like to take readings from a photodiode array :http://sales.hamamatsu.com/assets/pdf/parts_S/s4111-16q_etc_kmpd1002e06.pdf

Driver circuit: http://sales.hamamatsu.com/assets/pdf/parts_S/s4111-16q_etc_kmpd1002e06.pdf

I am new to using PCI modules, so I would like to ask you how should I proceed with the given problem. I have been reading about using PCI modules for controlling and retrieving purposes.

the second link is also to the diode array, not the circuity.

Have you already installed the card in a PC?

Have you tried measureing a voltage using MAX (just gives you noise or humming with nothing connected)?

Have you connected it already to a known signal?
