 minimum DC power supply

Software Installation

The DCM may be used with several different software personalities. Each personality requires 
different software packages to be installed on the host computer which may need to be 
individually licensed. 

NI Powertrain Controls supports the following software personalities for the DCM: 

DCM Default Software Image (DSI)

NI LabVIEW

NI  VeriStand

DCM Default Software Image (DSI)

Before using the DCM DSI, you must install the following application software and device 
drivers on the host computer in this order: 

NI CompactRIO Device Drivers 16.0 or later

Software Calibration Management (SCM) Toolkit 2016 or later (evaluation license)

Note

The DCM is shipped supporting the latest version of SCM. If you have 

trouble launching the DCM DSI with the latest available version of SCM on 

ni.com

the software on your DCM may need to be updated. Refer to the 

NI DCM-23XX DSI 

User Guide 

for more information.

DCM With LabVIEW

Before using the DCM with LabVIEW, you must install the following application software and 
device drivers on the host computer in this order: 

LabVIEW 2016 or later 

LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2016 or later 

LabVIEW FPGA Module 2016 or later 

NI CompactRIO Device Drivers 16.0 or later 

NI Powertrain Controls Device Drivers 2.160.0.0 or later
