specifications.

Installing the Application Software and Driver

Before installing your hardware, you must install the application software and instrument
driver. Visit 

ni.com/info

 and enter 

rdsoftwareversion

 as the Info Code to determine

which minimum software versions you need for your device. Install the software in the
following order:
1. Install LabVIEW.

Refer to the 

LabVIEW Installation Guide

 for installation instructions for LabVIEW and

system requirements for the LabVIEW software. Refer to the 

LabVIEW Upgrade Notes

for additional information about upgrading to the most recent version of LabVIEW for

Windows. Documentation for LabVIEW is available at 

ni.com/manuals

 and by selecting

Start

»

All Programs
