Drivers and Software
Your hard drive includes a directory called images in its root that contains software
and soft copies of manuals for the peripherals. The directory structure under the
images directory is logically organized into several levels.
In the images directory are drivers and NIDRIVERS directories. The drivers directory
contains driver installers for the system peripherals. These files and directories are
copied exactly from the manufacturer distribution disks, so the naming conventions
vary from peripheral to peripheral. The NIDRIVERS directory contains the GPIB and
PXI Platform Services drivers preinstalled on the controller.
